Q55 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jun Shift 1) · Mathematics

A rectangle R with end points of the one of its sides as 1,2 and 3,6 is inscribed in a circle. If the equation of a diameter of the circle is 2x-y+4=0, then the area of R is _____.

Correct answer: 16

Solution

Figure

Equation of line AB will be 

y-2=2x-1⇒2x-y=0

Now the given diameter is parallel to AB

Then, the distance between diameter and line AB

=422+12=45

Thus, BC=2×45=85

Also AB=1-32+2-62=20=25

Area of the rectangle=AB×BC=85×25=16

Hence, the correct answer is 16.
