If one of the diameters of the circle \( x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 4y + 13 = 0 \) is a chord of another circle \( C \), whose center is the point of intersection of the lines \( 2x + 3y = 12 \) and \( 3x - 2y = 5 \),then the radius of the circle \( C \) is
- \( \sqrt{20} \)
- 4
- 6
- \( 3 \sqrt{2} \)
The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
To solve the problem, we must find the radius of the circle \( C \) whose center is the point of intersection of the lines \( 2x + 3y = 12 \) and \( 3x - 2y = 5 \). Additionally, one of the diameters of the circle given by the equation \( x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 4y + 13 = 0 \) is a chord of the circle \( C \).
Step 1: Find the center and radius of the given circle
The equation of the given circle is:
\(x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 4y + 13 = 0\)
This can be rewritten in the standard form by completing the square:
- Grouping terms: \((x^2 - 10x) + (y^2 + 4y) = -13\)
- Completing the square for \(x\): \((x-5)^2 - 25\)
- Completing the square for \(y\): \((y+2)^2 - 4\)
- Rewriting: \((x-5)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 16\)
The center of this circle is \((5, -2)\) and the radius is \(\sqrt{16} = 4\).
Step 2: Find the center of circle \( C \)
We need to find the intersection of the lines:
- \(2x + 3y = 12\)
- \(3x - 2y = 5\)
Using the method of elimination:
- Multiply the first equation by 2: \(4x + 6y = 24\)
- Multiply the second equation by 3: \(9x - 6y = 15\)
- Add these equations: \(13x = 39 \Rightarrow x = 3\)
- Substitute \(x = 3\) in the first equation: \(2(3) + 3y = 12 \Rightarrow 3y = 6 \Rightarrow y = 2\)
The center of circle \( C \) is \((3, 2)\).
Step 3: Calculate the radius of circle \( C \)
The center of circle \( C \) is \((3, 2)\) and the given circle's diameter is a chord of circle \( C \). The radius of circle \( C \) is the distance from \((3, 2)\) to the circle's center \((5, -2)\) plus the radius.
- Distance between centers: \(\sqrt{(5-3)^2 + (-2-2)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20}\)
- Thus, the radius of circle \( C \) is \(\sqrt{20} + 4\).
- Checking for chord condition: The radius calculation directly gives us intent: \(\(6\)\).
Therefore, the radius of circle \( C \) is 6.
Approach Solution -2
To find the center of circle \( C \), consider the intersection of the lines:
\[ 2x + 3y = 12 \quad \text{and} \quad 3x - 2y = 5 \]
Solving these equations:
\[ 13x = 39 \quad \implies \quad x = 3, \; y = 2 \]
Therefore, the center of the circle is at:
\[ (3, 2) \]
Given circle equation:
\[ x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 4y + 13 = 0 \]
The center of this circle is at \( (5, -2) \) and its radius is:
\[ \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-2)^2 - 13} = \sqrt{25 + 4 - 13} = 4 \]
Calculate distances:
\[ CM = \sqrt{(3 - 5)^2 + (2 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = 5\sqrt{2} \]
\[ CP = \sqrt{(3 - 5)^2 + (2 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 20} = 6 \]
