Question ID: #1157
JEE Main3 April Shift 2, 2025Coordinate Geometry

If the four distinct points $(4, 6)$, $(-1,5)$, $(0,0)$ and $(k, 3k)$ lie on a circle of radius $r$, then $10k+r^{2}$ is equal to

  • (1) 32
  • (2) 33
  • (3) 34
  • (4) 35

Solution:




$$m = \frac{y_2 – y_1}{x_2 – x_1}$$

$$m_1 = \frac{5 – 0}{-1 – 0} = -5$$

$$m_2 = \frac{6 – 5}{4 – (-1)} = \frac{1}{5}$$

$$m_1 \times m_2 = -5 \times \frac{1}{5} = -1$$

$$(x – x_1)(x – x_2) + (y – y_1)(y – y_2) = 0$$

$$(x – 0)(x – 4) + (y – 0)(y – 6) = 0$$

$$x^2 + y^2 – 4x – 6y = 0$$

$$k^2 + (3k)^2 – 4k – 6(3k) = 0$$

$$10k^2 – 22k = 0$$

$$k = \frac{11}{5}$$

$$r = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{(x_2 – x_1)^2 + (y_2 – y_1)^2}$$

$$r = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{(4 – 0)^2 + (6 – 0)^2} = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{52} = \sqrt{13}$$

$$r^2 = 13$$

$$10k + r^2 = 10 \left(\frac{11}{5}\right) + 13$$

$$22 + 13 = 35$$

Ans. (4)
