Let $C_{2}$ be the image of $C_{1}$ in $\mathrm{T}$. Let $A$ and $B$ be the centers of circles $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ respectively, and $M$ and $N$ be respectively the feet of perpendiculars drawn from $A$ and $B$ on the $x$-axis. Then the area of the trapezium AMNB is :
Let $y=x+2,4y=3x+6$ and $3y=4x+1$ be three tangent lines to the circle $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$. Then $h+k$ is equal to :

Explanation:
Where $\mathrm{d}=$ perpendicular distance of centre from line $x+y=2$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 2 \sqrt{a^2-\left(\frac{a+a-2}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2}=2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow a^2-\frac{(2 a-2)^2}{2}=1 \Rightarrow 2 a^2-4 a^2+8 a-4=2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 2 a^2-8 a+6=0 \Rightarrow a^2-4 a+3=0 \\\\ & \therefore r_1+r_2=4 \text { and } r_1 r_2=3 \\\\ & \therefore r_1^2+r_2^2-r_1 r_2=\left(r_1+r_2\right)^2-3 r_1 r_2 \\\\ & =16-9=7 \end{aligned} $
Consider a circle $C_{1}: x^{2}+y^{2}-4 x-2 y=\alpha-5$. Let its mirror image in the line $y=2 x+1$ be another circle $C_{2}: 5 x^{2}+5 y^{2}-10 f x-10 g y+36=0$. Let $r$ be the radius of $C_{2}$. Then $\alpha+r$ is equal to _________.
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & C_1: x^2+y^2-4 x-2 y=\alpha-5 \\\\ & C_1:(x-2)^2+(y-1)^5-5=\alpha-5 \\\\ & C_1:(x-2)^2+(y-1)^2=(\sqrt{\alpha})^2 \end{aligned} $
So, centre and radius of $C_1$ are $(2,1)$ and $\sqrt{\alpha}$ respectively
Now, image of $(2,1)$ along the line $y=2 x+1$ is,
$ \frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y-1}{-1}=\frac{-2(4-1+1)}{2^2+(-1)^2} $
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{x-2}{2}=\frac{y-1}{-1}=\frac{-8}{5} \\\\ & \Rightarrow x=\frac{-6}{5} \text { and } y=\frac{13}{5} \end{aligned} $
Now, $\left(\frac{-6}{5}, \frac{13}{5}\right)$ will be the centre of $C_2$
$ \therefore f=\frac{6}{5} \text { and } g=\frac{-13}{5} $
Now, radius of $\mathrm{C}_2=r=\sqrt{f^2+g^2-\frac{36}{5}}$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\frac{36}{25}+\frac{169}{25}-\frac{36}{5}}=1 \\\\ & \because r=1 \text { so, } \alpha=1 \\\\ & \therefore \alpha+r=1+1=2 \end{aligned} $
Concept :
Image of a point $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ w.r.t. $a x+b y+c=0$ is $(x, y)$, then
$ \frac{x-x_1}{a}=\frac{y-y_1}{b}=\frac{-2\left(a x_1+b y_1+c\right)}{\left(a^2+b^2\right)} $
Let the point $(p, p+1)$ lie inside the region $E=\left\{(x, y): 3-x \leq y \leq \sqrt{9-x^{2}}, 0 \leq x \leq 3\right\}$. If the set of all values of $\mathrm{p}$ is the interval $(a, b)$, then $b^{2}+b-a^{2}$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$ E=\left\{(x, y): 3-x \leq y \leq \sqrt{9-x^2}, 0 \leq x \leq 3\right\} $
Since, point $(p, p+1)$ lie on line $y=x+1$
$\therefore$ Point of intersection of $y=x+1$ and $y=3-x$
i.e., $x+1=3-x$
$\Rightarrow$ $2 x=2 \Rightarrow x=1$
and $y=2$
and point of intersection of $y=x+1$ and
$ y=\sqrt{9-x^2} $
i.e., $(x+1)^2=9-x^2$
$\begin{array}{lc} &\Rightarrow x^2+1+2 x=9-x^2 \\\\ &\Rightarrow 2 x^2+2 x-8=0 \\\\ &\Rightarrow x^2+x-4=0 \\\\ &\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1+4(1)(4)}}{2} \\\\ &\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{17}}{2}\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{lll}\Rightarrow & x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{17}}{2}, & \text { (Since, } x \in[0,3]) \\\\ \therefore & p \in \left(1, \frac{-1+\sqrt{17}}{2}\right)\end{array}$
$\Rightarrow a=1, b=\frac{-1+\sqrt{17}}{2}$
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore b^2+b-a \\\\ &= \frac{1+17-2 \sqrt{17}}{4}+\frac{(-1+\sqrt{17})}{2}-1 \\\\ &= \frac{18-2 \sqrt{17}-2+2 \sqrt{17}-4}{4} \\\\ &= \frac{12}{4}=3\end{aligned}$
A circle passing through the point $P(\alpha, \beta)$ in the first quadrant touches the two coordinate axes at the points $A$ and $B$. The point $P$ is above the line $A B$. The point $Q$ on the line segment $A B$ is the foot of perpendicular from $P$ on $A B$. If $P Q$ is equal to 11 units, then the value of $\alpha \beta$ is ___________.
Explanation:
Since, (i) passes through $P(\alpha, \beta)$
$\therefore (\alpha-a)^2+(\beta-a)^2=a^2$
$ \begin{array}{lr} &\Rightarrow \alpha^2+\beta^2-2 \alpha a-2 \beta a+a^2=0 .........(i) \end{array} $
Equation of $A B=\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{a}=1$
$\Rightarrow x+y=a$ .........(ii)
Let $Q(p, q)$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $P$ to line (iii)
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore \frac{p-\alpha}{1}=\frac{q-\beta}{1}=\frac{-(\alpha+\beta-\alpha)}{(1)^2+(1)^2} \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{p-\alpha}{1}=\frac{q-\beta}{1}=\frac{-(\alpha+\beta-a)}{2} \\\\ & \Rightarrow p-\alpha=\frac{-(\alpha+\beta-a)}{2} \\\\ & \text { and } q-\beta=\frac{-(\alpha+\beta-a)}{2} \end{aligned} $
Now,
$ \begin{aligned} & P Q^2 =(p-\alpha)^2+(q-\beta)^2 \\\\ & =\frac{1}{4}(\alpha+\beta-a)^2+\frac{1}{4}(\alpha+\beta-a)^2 \end{aligned} $
$ \Rightarrow (11)^2=\frac{1}{2}(\alpha+\beta-\alpha)^2 $
$ \begin{array}{ll} &\Rightarrow \alpha^2+\beta^2+a^2+2 \alpha \beta-2 \beta a-2 \alpha a=242 \\\\ &\Rightarrow 2 \alpha \beta=242 \text { [Using Eq. (ii)] }\\\\ &\Rightarrow \alpha \beta=121 \end{array} $
Explanation:
$OC \,\bot \,CP$ and $OC \,\bot \, CQ$
$\Rightarrow PCQ$ is a straight line

$OC = \sqrt {{{(\sqrt 2 )}^2} + {{(\sqrt 3 )}^2}} = \sqrt 5 $
Let $CP = CQ = I$
$[OCP] = {1 \over 2} \times OC \times I = {{\sqrt {35} } \over 2}$
$I = \sqrt 7 $
$OP = OQ = \sqrt {{{(OC)}^2} + {I^2}} = \sqrt {5 + 7} = \sqrt {12} $
$a_1^2 + a_2^2 + b_1^2 + b_2^2 = \left( {a_1^2 + b_2^2} \right) + \left( {a_2^2 + b_2^2} \right)$
$O{P^2} + O{Q^2} = 12 + 12 = 24$
A circle with centre (2, 3) and radius 4 intersects the line $x+y=3$ at the points P and Q. If the tangents at P and Q intersect at the point $S(\alpha,\beta)$, then $4\alpha-7\beta$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
The line $x + y = 3$ ..... (i)
is polar of $S(\alpha ,\beta )$ w.r.t. circle
${(x - 2)^2} + {(y - 3)^2} = 16$
$ \Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 6y - 3 = 0$
Equation of polar is
$\alpha x + \beta y - 2(x + \alpha ) - 3(4 + \beta ) - 3 = 0$
$(\alpha - 2)x + (\alpha - 3)y - (2\alpha + 3\beta + 3) = 0$ ..... (ii)
(i) and (ii) represent the same.
$\therefore$ ${{\alpha - 2} \over 1} = {{\beta - 3} \over 1} = {{2\alpha + 3\beta + 3} \over 3}$
$\alpha - \beta + 1 = 0$
$\alpha - 3\beta - 9 = 0$
$ \Rightarrow \alpha = - 6,\beta = - 5$
$4\alpha - 7\beta = 11$
Points P($-$3, 2), Q(9, 10) and R($\alpha,4$) lie on a circle C and PR as its diameter. The tangents to C at the points Q and R intersect at the point S. If S lies on the line $2x-ky=1$, then k is equal to ____________.
Explanation:

Now, $\frac{10-2}{9+3} \times \frac{10-4}{9-\alpha}=-1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{8}{12} \cdot 6=\alpha-9 \Rightarrow \alpha=13$
$\therefore 0=(5,3)$ So, $ m_{O Q}=\frac{7}{4} $ $ \begin{aligned} & m_{O R}=\frac{1}{8} \end{aligned} $
$\therefore Q: y-10=\frac{-4}{7}(x-9)$
$\Rightarrow 4 x+7 y=106$
Tangent at $R: y-4=-8(x-13)$
$ 8 x+y=108\quad...(ii) $
By (i) and (ii) $S \equiv\left(\frac{25}{2}, 8\right)$, satisfies with the line
$\therefore K=3$
Explanation:
Let say, $Z=(2)(1)^{1 / 8}$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow Z^8=2^8 \times 1 \\\\ & \Rightarrow Z^8-2^8=0 \end{aligned} $
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow Z=2,2 \alpha, 2 \alpha^2, 2 \alpha^3, \ldots, 2 \alpha^7 ; \alpha=e^{i \frac{2 \pi}{8}} \\\\ & \Rightarrow Z^8-2^8=(Z-2)(Z-2 \alpha)\left(Z-2 \alpha^2\right)\left(Z-2 \alpha^3\right) \ldots\left(Z-2 \alpha^7\right) \\\\ & \Rightarrow\left|Z^8-2^8\right|=|Z-2||Z-2 \alpha| \ldots .\left|Z-2 \alpha^7\right| \\\\ & \text { But }\left|Z^8+\left(-2^8\right)\right| \leq|Z|^8+2^8\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow|Z-2||Z-2 \alpha| \ldots\left|Z-2 \alpha^7\right| & \leq|Z|^8+2^8 \\\\ & \leq 2^8+2^8 \\\\ & \leq 2^9\end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \operatorname{Max}\left(P A_1 \cdot P A_2 \ldots P A_8\right)=2^9$
Explanation:
Let $M$ and $N$ be midpoints of $P Q$ and $S T$ respectively.
$\Rightarrow M N$ is a radical axis of two circles
$C_1: x^2+y^2=1$ ........(i)
$\begin{aligned} & C_2:(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2=r^2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2+y^2-8 x-2 y+17-r^2=0 .......(ii)\end{aligned}$
From (i) and (ii);
Equation of $M N: 8 x+2 y-18+r^2=0$
$\Rightarrow B$ is on $x$-axis $\Rightarrow B\left(\frac{18-r^2}{8}, 0\right)$
$ \begin{aligned} & A B=\sqrt{5} \\\\ & \sqrt{\left(\frac{18-r^2}{8}-4\right)^2+1}=\sqrt{5} \end{aligned} $
$\Rightarrow$ On solving $r^2=2$
