Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : (x - \(\frac{5}{3}\))2 + y2 = 81 Concept: Standard equation of a circle: \(\rm (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=R^2\) Where centre is (h, k) and radius is R. Note: The normal to the circle passes through the centre of the circle. Distance between a point on a circle and the centre is the radius of the circle. Distance between 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is: D = \(\rm \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2 + (x_2 -x_1)^2}\) Area of the circle = πr2
Calculation: Given normal to the circle are : 2y - 3x + 5 = 0 ...(i) 2y + 3x - 5 = 0 ...(ii) Substracting (ii) from (i) -6x + 10 = 0 ⇒ x = \(\boldsymbol{5\over3}\) From equation (ii) 2y + 3(\({5\over3}\)) - 5 = 0 ⇒ y = 0 ∴ Coordinates of the centre are (\(\boldsymbol{5\over3}\), 0) Given the area of circle = 81π πr2 = 81π ⇒ r2 = 81 ∴ The equation of circle is: \(\rm (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=R^2\) ⇒ (x - \({5\over3}\))2 + (y - 0)2 = 81 ⇒ (x - \(\boldsymbol{5\over3}\))2 + y2 = 81 |
