Question

If the area of the quadrilateral formed by the tangent from the origin to the circle x2 + y2 + 6x – 10y + c = 0 and the pair of radii at the points of contact of these tangents to the circle is 8 square units, then c is a root of the equation

Solution

Correct option is

c2 – 34c + 64 = 0

Let OAOB be the tangents from the origin to the given circle with centre C(–3, 5) and radius   

Then area of the quadrilateral OACB = 2 × area of the triangle OAC  

                           

Now OA = length of the tangent from the origin to the given circle
