Q45 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (08 Apr Shift 1) · Mathematics

The sum of the squares of the lengths of the chords intercepted on the circle,  x2+y2=16, by the lines, x+y=n,  n∈N, where N is the set of all natural numbers is:

  • Correct answer
    A
     210
  • B
    105
  • C
     320
  • D
     160

Solution

Figure

The length of the perpendicular from centre 0,0  to the line x+y=n is 0+0-n12+I2=n2

Length of intercept =242-n22=64-2n2

⇒ Possible values of n are 1,2,….5

⇒ Sum of the square of lengths of intercepts

=Σn=1564-2n2=64×5-2Σn=15n2

=320-2Σn=15n2=320-110=210

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