Question

Consider a circle C1 with the equation (x1)2+y2=1 and a shrinking circle C2 with radius r, centred at the origin. Let P be the point of intersection of two circles above xaxis, Q is the point (0,r), and R is the point of intersection of the line PQ with xaxis, then xcoordinate of the point R, as C2 shrinks (i.e. r0)?

Solution

The correct option is A 4
R(x,0),P(0,r) ,Q(r22,r2r44)
P,Q,R are the collinear points.
mPR=mPQ
r00x=r1r24rr220
x=r2211r24
x=limr0r2211r24=4
