Detailed Solution
Equation of chord of contact AB will be S1=0 i.e ,5x−5y=5⇒x−y=1 Let Ax1,x1−1,Bx2,x2−1 be the points Let P be (5cosθ,5sinθ)since A,B, P lies on the circle ,centre O0,0 is the circumcentre of the ∆PAB and centroid is 5cosθ+x1+x23+5sinθ+x1−1+x2−13 ⇒ Ortho centre will be 5cosθ+x1+x2,5sinθ+x1+x2−2=(h,k)⇒5cosθ=h−x1+x2,5sinθ=k+2-x1+x2since (5cosθ)2+(5sinθ)2=5 if circumcentre is the origin then Orhocentre =3 G =x1+x2+x3,y1 +y2+y3⇒h−x1+x22+k+2−x1+x22=5…… (1)x1,x1−1,x2,x2−1 lies on circle x2+(x−1)2=5x2−x−2=0⇒x1+x2=1∴ Locus will be equation (1):(h−1)2+(k+1)2=5⇒(x−1)2+(y+1)2=5
