A line $y = mx + 1$ intersects the circle $(x ? 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25$ at the points $P$ and $Q$ If the midpoint of the line segment $PQ$ has $x$-coordinate $-\frac{3}{5}$, then which one of the following options is correct?
- $-3\le m
- $2\le m<4$
- $4\le m<6$
- $6\le m<8$
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
$\because AO \bot PQ
Slope of AO ? Slope of PQ = -1$
$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{1-\frac{3}{5}m+2}{-\frac{3}{5}-3}\right).m=-1$
$\Rightarrow \left(3-\frac{3}{5}m\right)m=\frac{18}{5}$
$\Rightarrow m^{2}-5m+6=0$
$\Rightarrow m=2$ or $3$

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

Concepts Used:
The Slope of a Line
A slope of a line is the conversion in y coordinate w.r.t. the conversion in x coordinate.
The net change in the y-coordinate is demonstrated by Δy and the net change in the x-coordinate is demonstrated by Δx.
Hence, the change in y-coordinate w.r.t. the change in x-coordinate is given by,
\(m = \frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}} = \frac{Δy}{Δx}\)
Where, “m” is the slope of a line.
The slope of the line can also be shown by
\(tan θ = \frac{Δy}{Δx}\)
