If four distinct points \((2 k, 3 k),(2,0),(0,3)\) (0,0) lie on a circle, then

  1. A \(k < 0\)
  2. B \(0 < k < 1\)
  3. C \(k=1\)
  4. D \(k>1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(k=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, join of (2,0) and (0,3) subtends \(90^{\circ}\) at (0,0) \(\Rightarrow\) It is a diameter. \(\therefore\) Equation is \((x-2)(x-0)+(y-0)(y-3)=0\) \(x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-3 y=0\) \((2 k, 3 k)\) lies on it \(\Rightarrow \quad 4 k^{2}+9 k^{2}-4 k-9 k=0\) \(\Rightarrow\) .…
