$x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 4y = 0$
$x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 4y - 4 = 0$
$x^2 + y^2 - 4y - 4 = 0$

Let PQ and MN be two straight lines touching the circle $x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y-3=0$ at the points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Let $O$ be the centre of the circle and $\angle A O B=\pi / 3$. Then the locus of the point of intersection of the lines PQ and MN is :
$x^2+y^2-18 x-12 y-25=0$
$x^2+y^2-12 x-18 y-25=0$
$3\left(x^2+y^2\right)-12 x-18 y-25=0$
$3\left(x^2+y^2\right)-18 x-12 y+25=0$
Explanation:
$P\left(x_1 y_1\right)$ and point $Q\left(x_2, y_2\right)$
Mid point of $\mathrm{PQ} M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$
Substitute M into $x-y+1=0$
$ x_1+x_2-y_1-y_2+2=0 . .(i) $
Slope of PQ is Perpendicular to slope of bisector line So, slope of $P Q=-1$
$ y_2=x_1-x_2+y_1 \ldots . .(i i) $
$Q\left(x_2, y_2\right)$ lie on $5 x+y+2=0$
So, $5 x_2+y_2+2=0 \ldots \ldots$. (iii)
Substitute (iii) in (i)
$ x_2=\frac{-x_1-y_1-2}{4} \ldots .(i v) $
Substitute (iii) in (ii)
$ x_2=y_1-1 \ldots . .(v) $
From (iv) and (v)
$ x_1=2-5 y $
$\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ lie on circle
$ x_1^2+y_1^2=4 $
Pt $x_1=2-5 y_1$
$ y_1=0,-\frac{10}{13} $
So, $x_1=2, \frac{-24}{13}$
So, $2+\left(-\frac{24}{13}\right)=\frac{2}{13}$
So, $13 \times \frac{2}{13}=2$

If $B(\alpha, \beta)$, with $\beta<4$, lies on $C$ such that the length of the arc $A B$ is $(1 / 6)^{\text {th }}$ of the perimeter of $C$, then $\beta-\sqrt{3} \alpha$ is equal to

Given that $P$ is the mid point of the line segment $Q R$ and $P Q=\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3}$, the value of $9\left(x_1 y_1+x_2 y_2+x_3 y_3\right)$ is equal to _______.
Explanation:
Solving the line $x+y=3$, and the circle $x^2+$ $(y-1)^2=2$
Substitute $y=3-x$ :
$\begin{aligned} & x^2+(3-x-1)^2=2 \\ & \Rightarrow x^2-2 x+1=0 \\ & \Rightarrow x=1 \Rightarrow y=2 \end{aligned}$
So, $P=\left(x_1, y_1\right)=(1,2) \Rightarrow x_1 y_1=1 \cdot 2=2$
Use midpoint condition
Let $Q=\left(x_2, y_2\right), R=\left(x_3, y_3\right)$.
Since $P$ is the midpoint of QR:
$x_2+x_3=2 x_1=2, y_2+y_3=2 y_1=4
$So, we can write: $x_3=2-x_2, y_3=4-y_2$

Given,
$P Q=\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3} \Rightarrow P Q^2=\left(x_2-1\right)^2+\left(y_2-2\right)^2=\frac{8}{9}$
Let's denote: $x_2=a, y_2=b, x_3=2-a, y_3=4-b$
$\begin{aligned} & (a-1)^2+(b-2)^2=\frac{8}{9} \\ & \Rightarrow a^2-2 a+1+b^2-4 b+4=\frac{8}{9} \\ & \Rightarrow a^2+b^2-2 a-4 b+5=\frac{8}{9} \\ & \Rightarrow 9 a^2+9 b^2-18 a-36 b+37=0 \end{aligned}$
Hence, $a=\frac{5}{3}, b=\frac{4}{3}$
$\begin{aligned} & x_1 y_1+x_2 y_2+x_3 y_3=2+a b+(2-a)(4-b) \\ & 9\left(x_1 y_1+x_2 y_2+x_3 y_3\right)=9(10+2 a b-2 b-4 a) \\ & =90+18 a b-18 b-36 a=46 \end{aligned}$
The absolute difference between the squares of the radii of the two circles passing through the point $(-9,4)$ and touching the lines $x+y=3$ and $x-y=3$, is equal to ________ .
Explanation:

$\because x+y=3$ and $x-y=3$ are tangents
$\therefore \quad$ Both circle centre will lie on $x$-axis
$\therefore(x-a)^2+y^2=r^2$
Hence centre is $C(\alpha, 0)$
$\begin{aligned} &r=\sqrt{(\alpha+9)^2+16}\quad\text{.... (1)}\\ &\text { Also }\left|\frac{\alpha-3}{\sqrt{2}}\right|=r \quad\text{.... (2)}\\ &\begin{aligned} & \sqrt{(\alpha+9)^2+16}=\left|\frac{\alpha-3}{\sqrt{2}}\right| \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \alpha=-5 \text { or }-37 \\ & \mathrm{r}=\left|\frac{-5-3}{\sqrt{2}}\right| \text { or }\left|\frac{-37-3}{\sqrt{2}}\right| \\ & =4 \sqrt{2} \text { or } 20 \sqrt{2} \\ & \left|\mathrm{r}_1^2-\mathrm{r}_2^2\right|=|32-800|=768 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
Let the circle $C$ touch the line $x-y+1=0$, have the centre on the positive $x$-axis, and cut off a chord of length $\frac{4}{\sqrt{13}}$ along the line $-3 x+2 y=1$. Let H be the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{\alpha^2}-\frac{y^2}{\beta^2}=1$, whose one of the foci is the centre of $C$ and the length of the transverse axis is the diameter of $C$. Then $2 \alpha^2+3 \beta^2$ is equal to ________.
Explanation:

$\begin{aligned} &x-y+1=0\\ &\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{r}\\ &\left|\frac{\alpha-0+1}{\sqrt{2}}\right|=r \Rightarrow(\alpha+1)^2=2 r^2\quad\text{.... (1)} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \text { now }\left(\frac{-3 \alpha+0-1}{\sqrt{9+4}}\right)^2+\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\right)^2=\mathrm{r}^2 \\ & \Rightarrow(3 \alpha+1)^2+4=13 \mathrm{r}^2 \ldots \ldots .(2) \\ & \text { (1) & }(2) \Rightarrow(3 \alpha+1)^2+4=13 \frac{(\alpha+1)^2}{2} \\ & \quad \Rightarrow 18 \alpha^2+12 \alpha+2+8=13 \alpha^2+26 \alpha+13 \\ & \Rightarrow 5 \alpha^2-14 \alpha-3=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 5 \alpha^2-15 \alpha+\alpha-3=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 5 \alpha^2-15 \alpha+\alpha-3=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{-1}{5}, 3 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore \quad r=2 \sqrt{2}\\ &\text { How } \alpha \mathrm{e}=3 \text { and } 2 \alpha=4 \sqrt{2}\\ &\begin{aligned} & \alpha^2 \mathrm{e}^2=9 \Rightarrow \alpha=2 \sqrt{2} \Rightarrow \alpha^2=8 \\ & \alpha^2\left(1+\frac{\beta^2}{\alpha^2}\right)=9 \\ & \alpha^2+\beta^2=9 \\ & \therefore \beta^2=1 \\ & \therefore 2 \alpha^2+3 \beta^2=2(8)+3(1)=19 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
