Let a circle C1 be obtained on rolling the circle x2+y2−4x−6y+11=0 upwards 4 units on the tangent T to it at the point (3,2). Let C2 be the image of C1 in T . Let A and B be the centers of circles C1 and C2 respectively, and M and N be respectively the feet of perpendiculars drawn from A and B on the x -axis. Then the area of the trapezium AMNB is :
(A)2(2+2)
(B)4(1+2)✓ Correct
(C)3+22
(D)2(1+2)
Answer: (B)
Solution
The circle x2+y2−4x−6y+11=0 has centre (2,3) and radius 2, and the tangent at (3,2) has slope 1, the line x−y−1=0. Rolling the circle 4 units up this tangent shifts the centre by 4 along the unit direction 2(1,1), placing A=(2+22,3+22). Reflecting A in the tangent gives B=(4+22,1+22). The feet of the perpendiculars on the x-axis are M=(2+22,0) and N=(4+22,0), so the parallel sides are AM=3+22 and BN=1+22 with MN=2 between them. The trapezium area is 21(3+22+1+22)⋅2=4(1+2).
