Question

If one of the diameters of the circle x2+y2-10x+4y+13=0 is a chord of another circle C, whose center is the point of intersection of the lines 2x+3y=12 and 3x-2y=5, then the radius of the circle C is

Correct answer
C6

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

S1x2+y2-10x+4y+13=0 with radius R=4 and its one diameter is chord of other circle S2 whose centre is given by intersection of 2x+3y=12 & 3x-2y=5 which is 3,2

Now, plotting the diagram we get,

Now, from above circle the distance between the centres is given by l=5-32+-2-22=20

Hence, radius of S2 will be, r2=202+42=20+16=36

r=6
