Hints and Solutions

1. (b)
Calculation: 6. (d)
Equation of circle with center at Calculation:
(a, b) and radius r units is (x – a)2 + (y – b)2 = r2 Comparing
So, equation of circle is (x – 2)2 + (y – 5)2 = 52 x2 + y2 – 2x – 2y = 0 with standard equation
 x2 + y2 – 4x –10y + 4 = 0
g = –1 and f = –1 and c = 0
2. (d) Radius, R1 = (−1)2 + (−1)2 − 0 = 2
Calculation: Comparing
Comparing the equation with general form x2 + y2 = 1 with standard equation
x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get h = 0 and k = 0 and r = 1
2 g = –14, g = –7, 2f = –10f = –5 and c = 4 Radius, R2 =1
Center is at (–g, –f) i.e., (7, 5).  R1  R2
Its center is at the origin. So it can never pass
3. (b) through the origin.
Calculation: Therefore, Both the circles do not pass through the
Equation of circle with center at (a, b) and radius r origin.
units is
(x – a)2 + (y – b)2 = r2 7. (c)
(5 – 2)2 + (9 – 5)2 = r2 Calculation:
32 + 42 = r ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2fy + c =0(a  0) … (i)
r=5 x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 … (ii)
So, equation of circle is (x – 2)2 + (y – 5)2 = 52 Comparing (i) and (ii)
x2 + y2 – 4x – 10y + 4 = 0 a = 1, b = 1, 2h = 0
a = b, h = 0
4. (c)
Calculation: 8. (a)
Equation of circle with center at x-axis (a, o) and
radius r units is
(x – a)2 + (y)2 = r2
circle pass through (2, 0) and (0, 4)
(2 – a)2 + (0)2 = r2 and (a)2 + (4)2 = r2
By above equation,
r2 = (2 + 3)2 = 52
r = 5 units

5. (a) Calculation:
Here, the circle is intersecting the x-axis at (3, 0)
and y-axis at (0, 3).
Therefore, as shown in figure,
AC = OB and OA= BC
∴ Radius = 3 Therefore, the radius of the given
circle is 3 units.

10. (a) 14. (b)

Calculation: Calculation:
15 5 −g + g2 − c  0 and −g − g2 − c  0
length of arc of a circle = 2  5  =
360 12
g 2 − c  g and − g 2 − c  g
g2 – c > g2
–c>0⇒c<0
At x-axis, y = 0
 x2 + 2gx + c = 0
11. (c) −2g  4g 2 − 4c
x=  x = −g  g 2 − c
Calculation: 2
The given equation can be written as
(x2 – 8x) + (y2 – 10y) = 12 15. (b)
Completing the squares, we get Calculation:
(x2 – 8x + 16) + (y2 + 10y + 25) = 12 + 16 + 25 x2 + y2 + z2 + 6x – 4y – 8z + 4 = 0
(x – 4)2 + (y + 5)2 = 53 2u = 6, 2v = – 4, 2w = –8, d = 4
( 53 ) u = 3, v = – 2, w = –4, d = 4

 (x – 4)2 + (y–(–5))2 = , which is
 r = u 2 + v2 + w 2 − d
compatible with (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Here, h = 4, k = –5 and r = 53 = 32 + (−2)2 + (−4)2 − 4 = 5
Hence, the given circle has centre at (4, –5) and its
16. (a)
radius is 53
Calculation:
Equation of sphere with C (–3, 4, 2)
12. (a) (x + 3)2 + (y – 4)2 + (z – 2)2 = r2
Calculation: Since it passes through (2, 4, 6)
The given circle is: (2 + 3)2 + (4 – u) + (6 – 2) = r2
x2 + y2 – 4x – 6y + 11 = 0 …(i) r2 = 25 + 16 = 41
Its centre is C(2, 3)
Let A(3, 4) and B(, ) be the ends of the 17. (c)
diameter, then C(2, 3) is the mid-point of the Calculation:
segment AB.

  = 1 and  = 2
Hence, the coordinates of the other end of the
diameter are (1, 2)

centre must belong to 1st quadrant. 15 5
Therefore, C(a, a) and radius = a  −17 3 
Now, a + a = 4 ⇒ a = 2 Q , 

On camparing we get
18. (a) r = 3 and center (2, 0)
Calculation:
Statement 1 is correct. 20. (c)
Here, Circle x2 + y2 = 4  Center C1 (0, 0) radius Calculation:
= 2 & x2 + y2 – 8x + 7 = 0  Center C2 Since the line cuts the circle at two real points.
(4, 0) radius = 3  Line passes through the interior of the circle.
|C1C2| = 4  So m can have any real value.
r1 + r2 = 5
|r1 – r2| = 1
Now |r1 – r2| < |C1 C2| < |r1 + r2|
Hence both circles intersect at two distinct points.
Statement 2 is always true.
