Mathematics Question on Tangents and Normals
Let a circle C1 be obtained on rolling the circle x2+y2−4x−6y+11=0 upwards 4 units on the tangent T to it at the point (3,2) Let C2 be the image of C1 in T Let A and B be the centers of circles C1 and C2 respectively, and M and N be respectively the feet of perpendiculars drawn from A and B on the x-axis. Then the area of the trapezium AMNB is:
A
2(2+2)
B
2(1+2)
C
4(1+2)
D
3+22
Answer
4(1+2)
Explanation
Solution
The correct answer is (C) : 4(1+2)
C=(2,3),r=2
Centre of G=A=2+24,
3+24=(2+22,3+22)
A(2+22,3+22)
B(4+22,1+22)
1x−(2+22)=−1y−(3+22)=2
∴ area of trapezium:
=21(4+42)2
=4(1+2)
