Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

Let ${{dy} \over {dx}} = {{ax - by + a} \over {bx + cy + a}},\,a,b,c \in R$, represents a circle with center ($\alpha$, $\beta$). Then, $\alpha$ + 2$\beta$ is equal to :

  1. A $-$1
  2. B 0
  3. C 1 Correct answer
  4. D 2

Solution

<p>Given,</p> <p>${{dy} \over {dx}} = {{ax - by + a} \over {bx + cy + a}}$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow bxdy + cydy + ady = axdx - bydx + adx$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow bxdy + bydx + (cy + a)dy = (ax + a)dx$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow b(xdy + ydx) + (cy + a)dy = (ax + a)dx$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow bd(xy) + (cy + a)dy = (ax + a)dx$</p> <p>Integrating both sides, we get</p> <p>$\Rightarrow b\int {d(xy) + \int {(cy + a)dy = \int {(ax + a)dx} } }$</p> <p>$$ \Rightarrow b\,.\,xy + c\,.\,{{{y^2}} \over 2} + ay = {{a{x^2}} \over 2} + ax + k$$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow {{a{x^2}} \over 2} - {{c{y^2}} \over 2} - bxy + ax - ay + k = 0$</p> <p>For equation of circle,</p> <p>Coefficient of x<sup>2</sup> = Coefficient of y<sup>2</sup></p> <p>$\therefore$ ${a \over 2} = - {c \over 2}$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow a = - c$</p> <p>And coefficient of $xy = 0$</p> <p>$\therefore$ $- b = 0$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow b = 0$</p> <p>$\therefore$ Circle equation becomes,</p> <p>${{a{x^2}} \over 2} + {{a{y^2}} \over 2} + ax - ay + k = 0$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} + 2x - 2y + {{2k} \over a} = 0$</p> <p>$\therefore$ Center $= ( - g, - f) = ( - 1,1) = (\alpha ,\beta )$</p> <p>$\therefore$ $\alpha = - 1$ and $\beta = 1$</p> <p>$\therefore$ $\alpha + 2\beta = - 1 + 2 \times (1) = 1$</p>
