Question

Find the length of intercept on the S.L. 4x – 3y – 10 = 0 by the circle x2y2 – 2x + 4y – 20 = 0.

Solution

Correct option is

10

 

Centre and radius of the circle x2 + y2 – 2x + 4y – 20 = 0 are

(1, –2) and  respectively.

Let OM be the perpendicular from O on the line 4x – 3y – 10 = 0

  

Hence line 4x – 3y – 10 = 0 passes through the centre of the circle.

Hence intercepted length = Diameter of the circle

                                         = 2 × 5 = 10
