JEE Main 2025 — 28 January, Evening Shift — Question 19

If AA and BB are the points of intersection of the circle x2+y2−8x=0\mathrm{x}^{2}+\mathrm{y}^{2}-8 \mathrm{x}=0 and the hyperbola x29−y24=1\frac{x^{2}}{9}-\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1 and a point PP moves on the line 2x−3y+4=02 x-3 y+4=0, then the centroid of △PAB\triangle P A B lies on the line :

  1. Option A:

    4x−9y=124 x-9 y=12

  2. Option B:

    x+9y=36x+9 y=36

  3. Option C:

    9x−9y=329 x-9 y=32

  4. Option D:

    6x−9y=206 x-9 y=20

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

x2+y2−8x=0,x29−y24=1x^{2}+y^{2}-8 x=0, \frac{x^{2}}{9}-\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1

4x2−9y2=364 x^{2}-9 y^{2}=36

Solve (1) & (2)

4x2−9(8x−x2)=364 x^{2}-9\left(8 x-x^{2}\right)=36

13x2−72x−36=013 x^{2}-72 x-36=0

(13x+6)(x−6)=0(13 \mathrm{x}+6)(\mathrm{x}-6)=0

x=−613,x=6x=\frac{-6}{13}, x=6

x=−613(\mathrm{x}=\frac{-6}{13}( rejected ))

y→\mathrm{y} \rightarrow Imaginary

x=6,369−y24=1\mathrm{x}=6, \frac{36}{9}-\frac{\mathrm{y}^{2}}{4}=1

y2=12,y=+or−12\mathrm{y}^{2}=12, \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{+ or-} \sqrt{12}

A(6,12),B(6,−12)\mathrm{A}(6, \sqrt{12}), \mathrm{B}(6,-\sqrt{12})

p(α,2α+43)P\mathrm{p}\left(\alpha, \frac{2 \alpha+4}{3}\right) \mathrm{P} lies on 2 x-3 y+4=0$

h=12+α3,α=3 h−12\mathrm{h}=\frac{12+\alpha}{3}, \alpha=3 \mathrm{~h}-12

k=2α+433⇒2α+4=9k\mathrm{k}=\frac{\frac{2 \alpha+4}{3}}{3} \Rightarrow 2 \alpha+4=9 \mathrm{k}

α=9k−42\alpha=\frac{9 \mathrm{k}-4}{2}

6 h−24=9k−46 \mathrm{~h}-24=9 \mathrm{k}-4

6x−9y=206 x-9 y=20
