MCQ
The radius of the circle represented by the equation $3\text{x}^2+3\text{y}^2+(\lambda-6)\text{y}+3=0$ is:
  • $\frac{3}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{3}{2}$
The equation of the circle is $3\text{x}^2+3\text{y}^2+(\lambda-6)\text{y}+3=0$
$\therefore$ Coefficient of $\text{xy}=0$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=0$
$\therefore3\text{x}^2+3\text{y}^2+9\text{x}-6\text{y}+3=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2+3\text{x}-2\text{y}+1=0$
Therefore, the radius of the circle is $\sqrt{\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)^2+(-1)^2-1}=\frac{3}{2}.$
