Question 13 Marks
Find the equation of the circle which touches the axes and whose centre lies on x - 2y = 3.
Answer
If the circle lies in the third quadrant, then its centre will be (-a, -a).
The centre lies on x - 2y = 3.
$\therefore$ -a + 2a = 3 ⇒ a = 3
$\therefore$ Required equation of the circle = (x + 3)2 + (y + 3)2 = 9
= x2 + y2 + 6x + 6y + 9 = 0
If the circle lies in the fourth quadrant, then its centre will be (a, -a),
$\therefore$ a + 2a = 3 ⇒ a = 1
$\therefore$ Required equation of the circle = (x - 1)2 + (y + 1)2 = 1
= x2 +y2 − 2x + 2y + 1 = 0

Question 23 Marks
Find the equation of the circle passing through the points:
(5, 7), (8, 1) and (1, 3)
Answer
We know that the general equation of cirde is x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 ......... (1) 
we have,
P (5, 7), Q (8, 1) and R (1, 3)
Since P, Q and R lies on (1)
so,
25 + 49 + 10g + 14f + C = 0 .......... (2)
64 + 1 + 16g + 2f +c = 0 ............... (3)
1 + 9 + 2g + 6f + c = 0 .................. (4)
Solving (2), (3) & (4), we get,
$\text{g}=-\frac{29}{6},\ \text{f}=\frac{19}{6},\ \text{c}=\frac{56}{3}$
Thus, the equation of circle is on putting g, f & con (1)
$\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2-\frac{29}{3}\times-\frac{19}{3}\text{y}+\frac{56}{3}=0$
$\Rightarrow3(\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2)-29\text{x}-19\text{y}+56=0$

Answer
We know that the general equation of circle is x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 ........ (1)
We have,
P (0, 0), Q (-2, 1) and R (-3, 2)

4 + 1 + 4x - 2y + c = 0 ........ (3)
9 + 4 + 6x - 4y + c = 0 ........ (4)

Question 43 Marks
Find the equation of a circle,
Passing through the origin, radius 17 and ordinate of the centre is -15.
Answer
The circle passes through origin (0, 0) and has radius = 17 units
Also, the ordinate of centre is -15 then assume abssisa is a.
$\therefore\text{OC}=17$
$\Rightarrow\sqrt{(\text{a}-0)^2+(0+15)^2}=17$ (by distance form ulla)
$\Rightarrow\sqrt{\text{a}^2+225}=17$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}^2+225=289$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}^2=64$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}-\pm8$
$\therefore$ Centre $=(\pm8,\ -15)$
Thus, the equation of circle will be,
$(\text{x}\pm8)^2+(\text{y}+15)^2=17^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2\mp16\text{x}+30\text{y}=0$

Question 53 Marks
Find the equation of a circle,
Which touches x-axis at a distance 5 from the origin and radius 6 units.
Answer
The circle touches the x-axis at A = (5, 0) and has radius 6 unit
Thus,
centre = (5, b)
By distance form ulla OA = 6
$\Rightarrow\sqrt{(5-5)^2+(\text{b}-0)^2}=6$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=6$
$\Rightarrow$ Centre $=(5,\ 6)$
so, the equation of required cirde is
$(\text{x}-5)^2+(\text{y}-6)^2=6^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2-10\text{x}-12\text{y}+25=0$

9 + 16 + 6g + 2f + c = 0 ........ (5)
1 + 1 + 2g + 2f + c = 0 ......... (6)

Question 73 Marks
Find the equation of a circle,
Which touches both the axes at a distance of 6 units from the origin.
Answer
The circle touches the axes at (0, 6) and (6, 0) respectively
Thus, the centre of circle will be (6, 6) ( as shown in fig)
and radius $=\text{OA}=\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(6-6)^2}=\sqrt{36}=6$ (by distance formulla)
$\therefore$ The equation of circle will be $(\text{x}-6)^2+(\text{y}-6)^2=6^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2-12\text{x}-12\text{y}+36=0$

Question 83 Marks
Find the equation of the circle having (1, -2) as its centre and passing through the intersection of the lines 3x + y = 14 and 2x + 5y = 18.
Answer
Intersection of 3x + y = 14 and 2x +5y= 18 is
Obtained by solving two equations.
x = 4 and y = 2
Point (4,2) is on circle, hence~ distance from centre
(1,-2)
= Radius
$=\sqrt{(1-4)^2+(-2-1)^2}$
$=\sqrt{9+16}$
$=5$
Equation of the circle with centre (4,2) and radius 5 is,
(x - 1)2 + (y + 2)2 = 25
x2 - 2x + 1 + y2 + 4y + 4 = 25
x2 + y2 - 2x + 4y - 20 = 0

Question 93 Marks
If the equations of two diameters of a circle are 2x + y = 6 and 3x + 2y = 4 and the radius is 10, find the equation of the circle.
Answer
The equation of two diameters of the circle (x - a)2 + (y - b)2 = r2 ......... (A)
is 2x + y = 6 ......... (1)
3x + 2y = 4 .......... (2)
The point of intersection of (1) & (2) is C = (8, -10), which is the centre of circle.
Also, radius = 10
$\therefore$ (A)
⇒ (x - 8)2+(y + 10)= 102
⇒ x2 + y- 16x + 20y + 64 = 0

Question 103 Marks
Find the equation of the circle which has its centre at the point (3, 4) and touches the straight line 5x + 12y − 1 = 0.
Answer
The centre of the required circle in (3,4) and the circle touches the line 5x + 12y = 1
so, radius = OA = Perpendicular distance of O to 5x + 12y = 1
$[\therefore$ radius is perpendicular to the tangent$]$
$\Rightarrow\text{OA}\frac{5\times3+12\times4-1}{\sqrt{5}^2+12^2}$
$=\frac{62}{13}$
Thus the equation of circle will be,
$(\text{x}-3)^2+(\text{y}-4)^2=\Big(\frac{62}{13}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow169[\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2-6\text{x}-8\text{y}]+25\times169=3844$
$\Rightarrow169[\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2-6\text{x}-8\text{y}]+381=0$
