Circle And System Of Circles Question 252

Question: The lengths of tangents from a fixed point to three circles of coaxial system are $ t_1,t_2,t_3 $ and if P, Q and R be the centres, then $ QRt_1^{2}+RPt_2^{2}+PQt_3^{2} $ is equal to

Options:

A) 1

B) 2

C) 3

D) 0

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Co-axial system $ x^{2}+y^{2}+2gx+c=0 $ , (g variable)

L.H.S. = $ \Sigma (g_2-g_3)(h^{2}+k^{2}-c+2g_1h)=0 $

Since $ \Sigma (g_2-g_3)=0 $ and $ \Sigma g_1(g_2-g_3)=0 $ .
