JEE MainMathematicsCircleMCQ+4 / −1
If the lines 2x + 3y + 1 + 0 and 3x - y - 4 = 0 lie along diameter of a circle of circumference , then the equation of the circle is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Interpret the statement
The two lines and intersect at a point. Since they "lie along diameter" of the circle, their point of intersection is the center of the circle.
Also, the circumference of the circle is given as
Using we get
- Find the center by solving the two lines
We solve:
From the second equation,
Substitute into the first:
Then
So the center is
- Form the equation of the circle
Standard form:
Here,
So,
Expand:
- Match with the options
This is which matches Option D.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: D
Our derived answer: D
So the answer agrees with the stored answer.
