Detailed Solution
Let x1,y1 e the mid-point of the chord intercepted by the circle x2+y2=a2 on the line lx+my+n=0Then, the equation of the chord of the circle x2+y2=u2whose middle point is x1,y1 is xx1+yy1−a2=x12+y12−a2⇒ xx1+yy1=x12+y12 ........(i)Clearly, lx+my+n=0 and (i) represents the same line. ∴ x1l=y1m=−x12+y12n=λ, say ⇒ x1=lλ,y1=mλ and x12+y12=−nλ⇒ l2+m2λ2=−nλ⇒ λ=−nl2+m2∴ x1=−lil2+m2,y1=−mml2+m2Hence, t e reqmre point is −ml2+m2,−mn12+m2
