Definition of a circle

Question

If the points (2, 0), (0, 1), (4, 5) and (0, c) are concyclic, then the value of 3c, is

Moderate
Solution

The equation of the circle passing through (2, 0), (0, 1) and (4, 5) is

3x2+y213x17y+14=0

This passes through (0, c).

 3c217c+14=0c=1,14/3

Since c = 1 is already there for point (0, 1). Therefore c = 14 / 3.
