The given equation of line is 4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 12

Dividing both side by 12

MHT-CET 2005 Page 1 of 20

 4𝑥 3𝑦 12 𝑥 𝑦
∴ 12 + 12 = 12 ⟹ 3 + 4 = 1

Given line intersect the required circle at point 𝐴(3,0) and 𝐵(0,4).

Let the required equation of circle is 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 2𝑔𝑥 + 2𝑓𝑦 + 𝑐 = 0 …….. (i)

Since, required circle passing through origin i.e. (0, 0),

∴ 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 𝑐 = 0 ⟹ 𝒄 = 𝟎 ………… (ii)

Now, required circle passing through 𝐴(3, 0)

𝟑
∴ (3)2 + 0 + 2𝑔(3) + 2𝑓(0) + 0 = 0 ⟹ 6𝑔 = −9 ⟹ 𝒈 = − 𝟐 …….. (iii)

Also, required circle passing through 𝐵(0, 4)

∴ 0 + (4)2 + 0 + 2𝑓(4) + 0 = 0 ⟹ 8𝑓 = −16 ⟹ 𝒇 = −𝟐 …….. (iv)

Substituting, the values of c, g and f are in equation (i)

3
∴ 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 2 (2) 𝑥 − 2(2)𝑦 + 0 = 0

∴ 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 3𝑥 − 4𝑦 = 0 is required equation of circle.

Ans: Option (D) 𝒙𝟐 + 𝒚𝟐 − 𝟑𝒙 − 𝟒𝒚 = 𝟎

METHOD – 2

The given equation of line is 4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 12

Dividing both side by 12

4𝑥 3𝑦 12 𝑥 𝑦
∴ 12 + 12 = 12 ⟹ 3 + 4 = 1

Given line intersect the required circle at point 𝐴(3,0) and 𝐵(0,4).

∵ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐵 = 90 ⟹ AC is diameter of Circle

By using diameter form, 𝐴(3,0) ≡ (𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) and 𝐵(0,4) ≡ (𝑥2 , 𝑦2 )

∴ (𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 − 0) + (𝑦 − 0)(𝑦 − 4) = 0.

∴ (𝑥 − 3)𝑥 + 𝑦(𝑦 − 4) = 0.

∴ 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 3𝑥 − 4𝑦 = 0 is required equation of circle.

Method - 2
∵ [𝑎̅ + 𝑏̅ 𝑏̅ + 𝑐̅ 𝑐̅ + 𝑎̅] = [𝑎̅ 𝑏̅ 𝑐̅]

∴ (𝑎̅ + 𝑏̅). [(𝑏̅ + 𝑐̅) × (𝑐̅ + 𝑎̅)] = [𝑎̅ 𝑏̅ 𝑐̅]

∴ (𝑎̅ + 𝑏̅). [(𝑏̅ × 𝑐̅) + (𝑏̅ × 𝑎̅) + (𝑐̅ × 𝑐̅) + (𝑐̅ × 𝑎̅)] = [𝑎̅ 𝑏̅ 𝑐̅]

∴ (𝑎̅ + 𝑏̅). [(𝑏̅ × 𝑐̅) + (𝑏̅ × 𝑎̅) + 0 + (𝑐̅ × 𝑎̅)] = [𝑎̅ 𝑏̅ 𝑐̅]

∴ 𝑎̅. (𝑏̅ × 𝑐̅) + 𝑎̅. (𝑏̅ × 𝑎̅) + 𝑎̅. (𝑐̅ × 𝑎̅) + 𝑏̅. (𝑏̅ × 𝑐̅) + 𝑏̅. (𝑏̅ × 𝑎̅) + 𝑏̅. (𝑐̅ × 𝑎̅) = [𝑎̅ 𝑏̅ 𝑐̅]
