y 2 = 2 x 3 ……. (i)

Equation of chord of contact

PQ : r = O

(y * 1) = (x + 0) – 3

y = x – 3              ……… (ii)

From (i) and (ii)

y = 1 or 3

Let C be the centre and M be the mid point of AB

Δ A P C : s i n θ = 1 3 / 2 p c = 5 1 3 p C = 1 6 9 1 0                

Δ A M C : c o s θ = 6 1 3 / 2 = 1 2 1 3              

PC = 1 6 9 1 0 , M C = 1 3 2 s i n θ = 1 3 2 5 1 3  

PM = PC – MC = 1 6 9 1 0 5 2 = 1 4 4 1 0  

5PM = 72

The circle x2+y2+6x+8y+16=0 has centre (3, 4) and radius 3 units

The circle

x2+y2+2(33)x+2(46)y=k+63+86,k>0 has centre (33,64) and radius k+34

? These two circles touch internally hence

3+6=|k+343|

here, k = 2 is only possible (?k>0)

Equation of common tangent to two circle is

23x+26y+16+63+86+k=0

?k=2 then equation is

x+2y+3+42+33=0 ….(i)

?(α,β) are foot of perpendicular from (3, 4) to line (i) then

α+31=β+42=342+3+42+3+31+2

(α+3)2+(β+6)2=25

Equation of tangent to the parabola at

P ( 8 5 , 6 5 )

7 5 x . 8 5 = 1 6 0 ( y + 6 5 ) 1 9 2

1 2 0 x = 1 6 0 y

3 x = 4 y

Equation of circle touching the given parabola at P can be taken as

λ = 2 5 o r 8 5

Radius = 1 or 4

Sum of diameter = 10
