From: JEE Main 2019 (Online) 10th April Morning Slot

Question

If the circles x2 + y2 + 5Kx + 2y + K = 0 and 2(x2 + y2) + 2Kx + 3y –1 = 0, (KR), intersect at the points P and Q, then the line 4x + 5y – K = 0 passes through P and Q, for :

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
Bno value of K

Step-by-step explanation

S1 x2 + y2 + 5Kx + 2y + K = 0



Equation of common chord is

S1 – S2 = 0

....(1)

4x + 5y – K = 0 …(2) (given)

On comparing (1) and (2)



and

22K = –10



So No value of K exists.
