The equation of the circle whose entre lies on the line $x-4 y=1$ and which passes through the points $(3,7)$ and $(5,5)$ is

  • A
    $x^2+y^2+6 x-2 y+90=0$
  • B
    $x^2+y^2-6 x-2 y-25=0$
  • C
    $x^2+y^2-6 x+2 y-30=0$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $x^2+y^2+6 x+2 y-90=0$

Solution

Let $(h, k) b$ the centre of the circle. It lies on the line $x-4 y=1$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \mathrm{h}=1+4 \mathrm{k} \\ & \therefore \text { centre } \equiv(4 \mathrm{k}+1, \mathrm{k}) \end{aligned} $$ Circle passes through points $(3,7)$ and $(5,5)$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore(4 \mathrm{k}+1-5)^2+(\mathrm{k}-5)^2=(4 \mathrm{k}-2)^2+(\mathrm{k}-7)^2 \\ & \therefore 16 \mathrm{k}^2+16-32 \mathrm{k}+\mathrm{k}^2+25-10 \mathrm{k}=16 \mathrm{k}^2+4-16 \mathrm{k}+\mathrm{k}^2+49 \\ & -14 \mathrm{k} \end{aligned} $$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore-42 \mathrm{k}+41=-30 \mathrm{k}+53 \Rightarrow 12 \mathrm{k}=-12 \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=-1 \\ & \therefore \text { centre } \equiv(-3,-1) \\ & \therefore \text { Radius }=\sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(-1-5)^2}=10 \end{aligned} $$ Hence equation of required circle is $$ (x+3)^2+(y+1)^2=(10)^2 \text { i.e. } x^2+y^2+6 x+2 y-90=0 $$

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