Circles: Entry Column Matched Value Column
JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.
Each entry of Column-I is to be matched with its value in Column-II.
List-I
AGiven that the circumference of the circle is bisected by the circle , the value of is
BThe tangents to the circle at the end points of its chord meet at the point ; then the value of is
CThe line cuts the circle in the chord . Taking as diameter, the circle drawn is ; then the value of is
DThe middle points of those chords of the circle which subtend an angle at the centre lie on ; then the value of is

PART (A)
Step 1: The circumference of the first circle being bisected by the second means their common chord
is a diameter of the first circle, so it passes through the centre of the first circle.
Step 2: The common chord is .
Step 3: Putting the centre of in it,
PART (B)
Step 1: For the chord of contact from is .
Step 2: This is the given chord , so
PART (C)
Step 1: Every circle through and belongs to the family .
with centre .
Step 2: is a diameter exactly when this centre lies on the line , i.e. on .
Step 3:
Comparing with gives and .
PART (D)
Step 1:
centre , radius .
Step 2: Let be the mid-point of a chord with . Then
and bisects the angle, so in the right triangle ,
Step 3:
so the locus is . Comparing with gives and .
MATCHING UP
Circles · medium
A ray of light strikes the point on the tangent drawn at to the circle , and after reflection it touches that circle. Given that the incident ray moved along the line , find the value of .
Circles · medium
A ray starting from the point strikes a mirror at a variable point and, after reflection, passes through the point , the incident ray and the reflected ray both being tangents to the circle . The variable point then traces . Find the value of .
