calculate the value of the ratio expression involving the squared distances from P to those four
points.
Concept : Intersection of Curves, Family of Circles passing through intersection points and

Solution:
Let given curves be S = 0 & S' = 0
So, a circle passing through their points of intersection can be S' + λS = 0
⇒(a' + λa)x2 + (a' + a – b + λb)y2 + (λ – 1)2hxy
–2(g' + λg)x – 2(ƒ' + λƒ)y + c(1 + λ) = 0
So, λ = 1
Now, required circle is
(a + a')x2 + (a + a')y2 – 2x(g + g') – 2y(ƒ + ƒ') + 2c = 0
So, point P is the center of this circle.
Hence, PA = PB = PC = PD = r

Let the six digit number be abcdef and to be divisible by 11
so |(a + c + e) – (b + d + f)| is multiple of 11.
Hence only possibility is a + c + e = 12 = b + d + f
Case-I {a, c, e} = {9, 2, 1} & {b, d, f} = {7, 5, 0}
So, Number of numbers = 3! × 3! = 36
