QJEEM22Ma333e: JEE Main 2022 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM22Ma333e Solution: If the circle x 2 + y 2 − 2 g x + 6 y − 19 c = 0 , g , c ∈ R…

If the circle x2+y2−2gx+6y−19c=0,g,c∈R passes through the point (6,1) and its centre lies on the line x−2cy=8, then the length of intercept made by the circle on x-axis is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 11
  • B 4
  • C 3
  • D 223

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Circle : x2+y2−2gx+6y−19c=0

It passes through h(6,1)

⇒36+1−12g+6−19c=0

=12g+19c=43 ..... (1)

Line x−2cy=8 passes through centre

⇒g+6c=8 ...... (2)

From (1) & (2)

g=2,c=1

C:x2+y2−4x+6y−19=0

x intercept =2g2−C

=24+19

=223
