Question

A square is formed by following two pairs of straight lines y2 – 14y + 45 = 0 and x2 – 8x + 12 = 0. A circle is inscribed in it. The centre of the circle is 

Solution

Correct option is

(4, 7)

The four lines are x = 2, x = 6, y = 5, y = 9. Hence the vertices of the square are (2, 5), (2, 9), (6, 5), (6, 9). The centre of the circle in the square is mid-point of AC or BD, i.e., (4, 7).
