Question

A system of circles is said to be coaxial when every pair of circles has the same radical axis. For coaxial circles, we note that
(1)The centers of all coaxial circles lie in a straight line, which is to the common radical axis
(2)Circles passing through two fixed points form a coaxial system with a line joining the points as a common radical axis.
(3)The equation to a coaxial system whose two members are S1=0 & S2=0 is given by S1+λS2=0,λ is parameter.
If we take line of centres as x -axis & common radical axis as y-axis, then the simplest form of equation of coaxial circles is given by x2+y2+2gx+c=0 where g is variable & c is constant
If g=±c then radious g2c vanishes & the circle become a point circle. The points (±c,0) are called the limiting points of the system of coaxial circle given by x2+y2+2gx+c=0
On the basis of above information answer the following question:
If (2,1) is a limit point of a coaxial system of circles containing x2+y26x4y3=0 then other limit point is

Solution

The correct option is B (5,6)
Given, one limiting point is (2,1)

Point circle with the help of limiting point (2,1) is given by

(x2)2+(y2)2=0 & other member of the family is x2+y26x4y3=0
So family of coaxial circle is given by

(x2+y26x4y3)+λ(x2+y24x2y+5)=0

(1+λ)(x2+y2)2x(3+2λ)2y(2+λ)+(3+5λ)=0

Center is
(3+2λ1+λ,2+λ1+λ) .............(*)

Radius =(3+2λ)2+(2+λ)2(3+5λ)(1+λ)=0

(5λ2+16λ+13)(5λ2+2λ3)=0

14λ=16 λ=87

Other limiting point is (5,6) (by using *)
