Part – B

2nd PUC Basic Maths Circles Ex 15.3 Two Marks Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Find the length of the chord of the circle x2 + y2 – 6x + 4y + 5 = 0 intercepted by x-axis.
Centre of given circle = (3,-2), c = 5
Length of chord intercepted by x – axis = 2$$\sqrt{g^{2}-c}$$ = 2$$\sqrt{9-5}$$ = 2$$\sqrt{4}$$ = 2.2 = 4 units.

Question 2.
Find the length of the chord of the circle x2 + y2 – 6x + 15y – 16 = 0 intercepted by the y-axis.
centre = $$\left(3, \frac{-15}{2}\right)$$ & C = -16
Length of the chord intercepted by y – axis = 2$$\sqrt{f^{2}-c}$$ = 2$$\sqrt{\left(\frac{15}{2}\right)^{2}+16}$$

Question 3.
Find the length of the chord of the circle x2 + y2 + 3x – 2 = 0 intercepted by y-axis.
Centre = $$\left(-\frac{3}{2}, 0\right)$$ c = -2
Length of the chord by y – axis = 2$$\sqrt{f^{2}-c}$$ = 2$$\sqrt{0+2}$$ = 2$$\sqrt{2}$$ units.

Question 4.
Find the length of the chord of the circle x2 + y2 + 3x – y – 6 = 0 intercepted by the y-axis.
Centre = $$\left(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$$ c = -6
Length of the chord by axis = 2 $$\sqrt{f^{2}-c}$$ = 2$$\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}+6}$$ = 2$$\sqrt{\frac{25}{4}}$$ = 5 units

Question 5.
Find the length of the chord of the circle x2 + y2 + 4x + 6y – 12 = 0 and x + 4y – 6 = 0.

Question 6.
Find the length of the chord intercepted by the circle x2 + y2 – 8x – 6y – 6 = 0 and the line x – 7 y – 8 = 0.

Question 7.
Find the length of the chord intercepted by the circle x2 + y2 – 6x – 2y + 5 = 0 and the line x – y + 1 = 0.

Question 8.
Prove that the length of the chord x + 2y = 5 of the circle x2 + y2 = 9 is 4 units.
Length of the chord intercepted by x – axis = 2$$\sqrt{g^{2}-c}$$
Here g = 5, f = -3, c = 9
∴ Length = $$2 \cdot \sqrt{25-9}=2 \sqrt{16}$$
= 2(4) = 8 units
Hence proved.
Centre of the given circle = (0,0), r = 3 units line = x + 2y – 5 = 0
$$d=\left|\frac{0+2(0)-5}{\sqrt{1^{2}+2^{2}}}\right|=\frac{5}{\sqrt{5}}=\sqrt{5}$$
∴ Length of the chord = $$2 \cdot \sqrt{r^{2}-d^{2}}$$
$$=2 \cdot \sqrt{(3)^{2}-(\sqrt{5})^{2}}=2 \sqrt{9-5}=2.2=4 \text { units. }$$
Hence proved.

Part – C

2nd PUC Basic Maths Circles Ex 15.3 Five Marks Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Show that the line 3x + 4y + 7 = 0 touches the circle x2 + y2 – 4x – 6y – 12 = 0 and find the point of contact.
Given centre = (2, 3) and r = $$\sqrt{4+9+12}$$ = $$\sqrt{25}$$ = 5
If the length of the perpendicular is equal to radius of the circle than the line touches the circle

∴ The line 3x + 4y + 7 touches the circle
Any line perpendicular to 3x + 4y + 7 = 0 is of the form 4x – 3y + k = 0
It passes through (2,3) ∴ 8 – 9 + k = 0 ⇒ k = 1
∴ The line is 4x – 3y + 1 = 0
Point of contact is the intersection of 3x + 4y + 7 = 0 and 4x – 3y + 1 = 0

∴ The point of contact is (-1,-1)

Question 2.
Find k if the line 3x + y + k = 0 touches the circle x2 + y2 – 2x – 4y – 5 = 0.
Given C = (1, 2) C = -5
Radius = Length of the perpendicular from (1, 2) to 3x + y + k = 0.

Question 3.
Find k if the 2x + y + k = 0 touches the circle x2 + y2 + 6x + 2y + 5 = 0.
Hence centre = (-3,-1), c = 5
$$r=\sqrt{g^{2}+f^{2}+c}=\sqrt{9+1-5}=\sqrt{5}$$
r = length of the perpendicular from (-3,-1) to the line 2x + y + k = 0
$$r=\sqrt{g^{2}+f^{2}+c}=\sqrt{9+1-5}=\sqrt{5}$$

Question 4.
Find k if the line 4x – y + k = 0 touches the circle x2 + y2 + 4x – 8y + 3 = 0.
Here centre = (-2,4), r = $$\sqrt{4+16-3}$$ = $$\sqrt{17}$$
∴ $$\sqrt{17}$$ = $$\left|\frac{4(-2)-4+k}{\sqrt{16+1}}\right|$$
-12 + k = ±$$(\sqrt{17})^{2}$$ ⇒ -12 + K = ±17 ⇒ k = 28 or -5
Here centre $$\left(-\frac{3}{2}, 1\right)$$, $$r=\sqrt{\frac{9}{4}+1-2}=\sqrt{\frac{5}{4}}$$
r = length of perpendicular from $$\left(-\frac{3}{2},-1\right)$$ to the line x – 2y + k = 0
