Answer:

Correct Answer: 20. 2x2+2y210x5y+1=0 21. y=0 and 7y24x+16=0

Solution:

  1. The equation of circle having tangent 2x+3y+1=0 at (1,1)

(x1)2+(y+1)2+λ(2x+3y+1)=0x2+y2+2x(λ1)+y(3λ+2)+(λ+2)=0

which is orthogonal to the circle having end point of diameter (0,1) and (2,3).

x(x+2)+(y+1)(y3)=0 or x2+y2+2x2y3=02(2λ2)21+2(3λ+2)2(1)=λ+232λ23λ2=λ12λ=3λ=3/2

From Eq. (i) equation of circle,

2x2+2y210x5y+1=0
