Q.

Perpendicular is drawn from a fixed point  (3,4) to a variable line which cuts positive x-axis at one unit distance from origin. Circle  S(x,y)=0  represents the locus of the foot of perpendicular drawn from point  (3,4) to the variable line. If radius of  S(x,y)=0 is  λ1 and length of tangent drawn to  S(x,y)=0 from origin is  λ2, then find the value of  λ1+λ2.

Let  x+λy1=0 be the variable line and  (h,k)  be the foot of perpendicular on it from  (3,4)
  (h2)2+(k2)2=5  
     Radius of  S(x,y)=0is5
  Length of tangent from origin to  S(x,y)=0is3
