Answer:

Correct Answer: 23. 25(x2+y2)20x+2y60=0

Solution:

  1. Given lines are

3x+5y1=0

and (2+c)x+5c2y1=0

x5+5c2=y(2+c)+3=115c25c10

x=5(c21)5(3c2c2) and y=1c15c25c10

limc1x=limc12c6c1

and

limc1y=limc1130c5limc1x=25

and

limc1y=125

Centre =limc1x,limc1y=25,125

Radius =2252+0+1252=6425+1625=160125 Equation of the circle is x252+y+1252=1601625
