Question Image

Let AB=a and CB=b which are along axes
Let point C be (a,b)
Equation of PQ is x+y=h where (h,h) is centre of circle
Distance of C from  PQ=|a+bh|2=5
a2+b2+h2+2ab2ah2bh=50...........(i)
Also distance of C from centre
h=(ah)2+(bh)2
a2+b22ah2bh+h2=0.........(ii)
Solving eqns (i) and (ii) ab=25
