Q97 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2004 · Mathematics

If $(1, a),(b, 2)$ are conjugate points with respect to the circle $x^2+y^2=25$, then $4 a+2 b$ is equal to

  • A
    $25$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $50$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
    $150$

Solution

Figure
Since, $(1, a)$ and $(b, 2)$ are the conjugate point of a circle, therefore point $(1, a)$ satisfy the equation (iii), we get $$ \begin{aligned} b+2 a & =25 \\ \Rightarrow \quad 2 b+4 a & =50 \end{aligned} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
