Open in App
Solution

Let the centre of the circle be Oa,b.Let A5,0 and B1,4 are the points that lie on circle.Now, centre of circle lies on x + y - 3 = 0, so it must satisfy it. a + b - 3 = 0a + b = 3 .....1Now, OA = 5-a2 + 0-b2 = 25+a2-10a+b2OB = a-12+b-42 = a2+1-2a+b2+16-8b = a2+b2-2a-8b+17Now, OA = OB Radii of same circle 25+a2-10a+b2 = a2+b2-2a-8b+1725+a2-10a+b2 = a2+b2-2a-8b+17-10a+2a+8b = -8-8a+8b = -8a-b = 1 ......2adding 1 and 2, we get2a = 4 a = 2Now, from 2, we get b = 1Now, OA = 25+22-10×2+1 = 25+4-20+1 = 10 unitsSo, radius, r = 10Now, equation of circle is,x-a2 + y-b2 = r2x-22+y-12 = 10
