Out of points only (–1, –1) lies on line and circle.

Here s = x2 + y2 + 2x – 4y + 4
s1 = 1 + 4 – 2 – 8 + 4 = –1
s1 < 0
the point (–1, 2) lies inside the circle also it is centre of circle so there is no tangent

Given lines are parallel


Hence dist. between lines = diameter of circle

S-1 is false as the points A, B, C are collinear


S-2 is correct.

It is director circle
∴ x2 + y2 = 2a2
x2 + y2 = 2 × 4
x2 + y2 = 8

61) Polar of (4, –2) w.r.t. circle x2 + y2 – 2x + 4y + 1 = 0 is 3x – 7 = 0. If (3, b) is


conjugate to (4, –2) then (3, b) lies on 3x – 7 = 0. But (3, b) does not satisty.

Centre of circle is O(0, 0) QR make angle 90° on its centre since slope ([Link] = –1).

Let the radius of bigger circle is R.


Then distance c2c3 = R – 10 ...(1)
distance c1c3 = R – 4 ...(2)
now (1) + (2) ⇒ c1c3 + c2c3 = 2R – 14
or c1c2 = 2R – 14
or (4 + 10) = 2R – 14
since R = 14 or
therefore, TC3 = 14
or TC1 + C1S + SC3 = 14

or 4 + 4 + SC3 = 14 ⇒

from Δ QSC3, (SQ)2 = (QC3)2 – (SC3)2
