Q1. Given equation is gives two distinct solution y = 0, 2

Here, a = λ, b =(2λ − 3) diametrically opposite points.

(i.e., circle passes through origin)

Now, equation of circle becomes

From the diagram, we can say that, tan θ = r

1 + p > 0 and p = −4 so, this case is not possible

⇒ 1 −(−p)= 0 and 4 −(−p)> 0

⇒ P A sin θ = 4 . . .(i)

Now from the figure,

Q6. Given, y = x tan α + a

∴ Finally, we conclude that p = 0, −1. 2

⇒ Two possible values of p. 2

Q3. S(x, 2) = 0 given two identical solutions x = 1

4x + 3y − 12 = 0 is equal to the radius (|p|) = 2 ×(

i.e. α(x − y)+3y − 9 = 0

A(a cosθ, a sinθ)

Equation of tangent at A x+h y−h

x cosθ + y sinθ = a ……… (i)

x sinθ – y cosθ = – a/ √3 … (ii)

on squaring and adding Equation (i) and (ii)

Q9. ⇒ x[4h −(1 + √2a)]−y[4h +(1 − √2a)]−h(1 + √2a)+h(1 − √2a)

Let the point on x 2

The equation of the circle is, x 2

(a + 2)(a − 2)> 0

Length of the tangent from the point A(4, 5) is Q13.

So, the circles

represents a family of coaxial system of circles having common As m < 0

Applying the condition of orthogonality of equations (i) & (ii) we

⇒ 2(ag + bf )−c + 2λ(ag − bf )= 0∀λ ∈ R …(iii)

The equation (iii) is true for all values of λ, provided,

Given circles are x 2

Here,C 1 =(1, −4), C2 =(2, −3)

Q15. Since, the given circles intersect orthogonally.

So, the family of circles is passing through the points of

The centre of the family of circles cutting this family of circles

at A and B lies on the line AB.

Hence, the required locus of the centre of the family of circles

y = mx + 4√1 + m . . . (i) 2 3

Factorizing the denominator of the integral I , we get
