Question

Let T be the line passing through the points P(−2,7) and Q(2,−5). Let F1 be the set of all pairs of circles (S1,S2) such that T is tangent to S1 at P and tangent to S2 at Q, and also such that S1 and S2 touch each other at a point, say, M. Let E1 be the set representing the locus of M as the pair (S1,S2) varies in F1. Let the set of all straight line segments joining a pair of distinct points of E1 and passing through the point R(1,1) be F2. Let E2 be the set of the mid-points of the line segments in the set F2. Then, which of the following statement(s) is (are) TRUE?

Solution

The correct option is D The point (0,32) doe NOT lie in E1
AP=AQ=AM
Locus of M is a circle having PQ as its diameter
Hence, E1:(x2)(x+2)+(y7)(y+5)=0 and x±2
Locus of B (midpoint)
is a circle having RC as its diameter
E2|:x(x1)+(y1)2=0
Now, after checking the options, we get (D).
