Correct answer: C

  1. Write the general equation of the circle

A circle can be written as x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0.x^2+y^2+Dx+Ey+F=0.x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0. We use the three given points (4,6),(−1,5),(0,0)(4,6),(-1,5),(0,0)(4,6),(−1,5),(0,0) to determine D,E,FD,E,FD,E,F.


  1. Substitute the point (0,0)(0,0)(0,0)

02+02+D(0)+E(0)+F=0  ⟹  F=0.0^2+0^2+D(0)+E(0)+F=0 \implies F=0.02+02+D(0)+E(0)+F=0⟹F=0.

So the circle is x2+y2+Dx+Ey=0.x^2+y^2+Dx+Ey=0.x2+y2+Dx+Ey=0.


  1. Substitute the point (4,6)(4,6)(4,6)

42+62+4D+6E=04^2+6^2+4D+6E=042+62+4D+6E=0 16+36+4D+6E=016+36+4D+6E=016+36+4D+6E=0 52+4D+6E=052+4D+6E=052+4D+6E=0 2D+3E=−26.(1)2D+3E=-26. \quad (1)2D+3E=−26.(1)


  1. Substitute the point (−1,5)(-1,5)(−1,5)

(−1)2+52−D+5E=0(-1)^2+5^2-D+5E=0(−1)2+52−D+5E=0 1+25−D+5E=01+25-D+5E=01+25−D+5E=0 26−D+5E=026-D+5E=026−D+5E=0 −D+5E=−26.(2)-D+5E=-26. \quad (2)−D+5E=−26.(2)


  1. Solve for DDD and EEE

From (2): D=26+5E.D=26+5E.D=26+5E.

Substitute into (1): 2(26+5E)+3E=−262(26+5E)+3E=-262(26+5E)+3E=−26 52+10E+3E=−2652+10E+3E=-2652+10E+3E=−26 13E=−7813E=-7813E=−78 E=−6.E=-6.E=−6.

Then D=26+5(−6)=26−30=−4.D=26+5(-6)=26-30=-4.D=26+5(−6)=26−30=−4.

Hence the circle is x2+y2−4x−6y=0.x^2+y^2-4x-6y=0.x2+y2−4x−6y=0.


  1. Find the fourth point condition

The point (k,3k)(k,3k)(k,3k) lies on the circle, so substitute:

k2+(3k)2−4k−6(3k)=0k^2+(3k)^2-4k-6(3k)=0k2+(3k)2−4k−6(3k)=0 k2+9k2−4k−18k=0k^2+9k^2-4k-18k=0k2+9k2−4k−18k=0 10k2−22k=010k^2-22k=010k2−22k=0 2k(5k−11)=0.2k(5k-11)=0.2k(5k−11)=0.

Thus k=0ork=115.k=0 \quad \text{or} \quad k=\frac{11}{5}.k=0ork=511​.

But (0,0)(0,0)(0,0) is already one of the given points, and the four points are distinct, so k≠0.k \ne 0.k=0. Therefore, k=115.k=\frac{11}{5}.k=511​.


  1. Find the radius rrr

For the circle x2+y2−4x−6y=0,x^2+y^2-4x-6y=0,x2+y2−4x−6y=0, complete the square:

x2−4x+y2−6y=0x^2-4x+y^2-6y=0x2−4x+y2−6y=0 (x−2)2−4+(y−3)2−9=0(x-2)^2-4+(y-3)^2-9=0(x−2)2−4+(y−3)2−9=0 (x−2)2+(y−3)2=13.(x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=13.(x−2)2+(y−3)2=13.

So r2=13.r^2=13.r2=13.


  1. Compute 10k+r210k+r^210k+r2

10k+r2=10(115)+13=22+13=35.10k+r^2=10\left(\frac{11}{5}\right)+13=22+13=35.10k+r2=10(511​)+13=22+13=35.


  1. Compare with the options

The value is 35.\boxed{35}.35​. So the correct option is C.


  1. Comparison with stored answer
