JEE Main 2024 — 8 April, Shift 2 — Question 1

If the image of the point (−4,5)(-4,5) in the line x+2y=2x+2 y=2 lies on the circle (x+4)2+(y−3)2=r2(x+4)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=r^{2}, then rr is

equal lo :

  1. Option A:

    1

  2. Option B:

    2

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    75

  4. Option D:

    3

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

Image of point (−4,5)(-4,5)

x−x1a=y−y1b=−2(ax1+by1+ca2+b2)\frac{x-x_{1}}{a}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{b}=-2\left(\frac{a x_{1}+b y_{1}+c}{a^{2}+b^{2}}\right)

Line: x+2y−2=0x+2 y-2=0

x+41=y−52=−2(−4+10−212+22)=−85\begin{aligned} \frac{x+4}{1}=\frac{y-5}{2} & =-2\left(\frac{-4+10-2}{1^{2}+2^{2}}\right) & =\frac{-8}{5} \end{aligned}

x=−4−85=−285x=-4-\frac{8}{5}=-\frac{28}{5}

y=−165+5=95y=-\frac{16}{5}+5=\frac{9}{5}

Point lies on circle (x+4)2+(y−3)2=r2(x+4)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=r^{2}

6425+(95−3)2=r2\frac{64}{25}+\left(\frac{9}{5}-3\right)^{2}=\mathrm{r}^{2}

10025=r2,r=2\frac{100}{25}=\mathrm{r}^{2}, \mathrm{r}=2
