a

If the tangent  OT cuts the two parallel tangents ( one of them is OA) at O and R, then the equation of the circle circumscribing ΔORQ is x2+y23x2y=0

b

The length of  QP is 53

c

Equation of the circle S is (x2)2+(y1)2=1

d

If the tangent  OT cuts the two parallel tangents ( one of them is OA) at O and R, then the equation of the circle circumscribing ΔORQ is 2x2+2y23x4y=0

answer is A, B, C.

9. Let OA = h and PQ = x.
Triangles OAP and QTP are similar
Question Image

APPT=OAQT=OPPQx+1PT=h1=OPx.....(1)

We get  OP = hx 
From eq. (1),  PT=x+1h
Perimeter of   ΔOAP=8
OA+AP+OP=8(h+1)(x+1)=8.......(2)

Again From the eq. (1),  OP=hxOT+PT=hx
Or  PT=hxh  TP=h(x1)  
Thus, x+1h=hxh or h2(x1)=x+1h2[8h+12]=8h+1 [ From eq.(2)]
Or  h33h2+4=0(h2)2(h+1)=0

h=2

(1) From Eq. (2), we have 

(h+1)(x+1)=8x=53PQ=53

(2) Coordinates of the centre Q are (h,1) or (2,1)
The equation of the circle is  (x2)2+(y1)2=1
(3) AP=1+x=1+53=83

Slope of the line OT is  APOA=43
Equation of the line OT is y=43x
Tangent to the circle parallel to OA is y = 2.
Solving with  y=43x, we get the coordinates of  R(32,2)
Equation of the circle passing through O and R is (x0)(x32)+(y0)(y2)+λ(4x3y)=0.......(3)
It passes through  Q(2,1), So , we get  λ=0

  R.circle  is    2x2+2y23x4y=0
