Circle 5 Question 8

8. Consider

L1:2x+3y+p3=0L2:2x+3y+p+3=0

where, p is a real number and

C:x2+y26x+10y+30=0

Statement I If line L1 is a chord of circle C, then line L2 is not always a diameter of circle C.

Statement II If line L1 is a diameter of circle C, then line L2 is not a chord of circle C.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 8. (c)

Solution:

  1. Equation of given circle C is

(x3)2+(y+5)2=9+2530 i.e. (x3)2+(y+5)2=22

Centre =(3,5)

If L1 is diameter, then 2(3)+3(5)+p3=0p=12

L1 is 2x+3y+9=0L2 is 2x+3y+15=0

Distance of centre of circle from L2 equals

|2(3)+3(5)+1522+32|=613<2

[radius of circle]

L2 is a chord of circle C.

Statement II is false.
