Four distinct points ( 2 k , 3 k ) , ( 1 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 1 ) and ( 0 , 0 ) lie on a circle for k equal to :

Four distinct points (2k,3k),(1,0),(0,1) and (0,0) lie on a circle for k equal to :
  1. 213
  2. 313
  3. 513
  4. 113

Solution

We know that, (1,0), (0,1), (0,0) lies on X-axis, Y-axis and on the origin respectively.

So, (2k,3k) will lie on circle whose diameter is AB.

Equation of the circle will be given by,

(x-1)(x)+(y-1)(y)=0

x2+y2-x-y=0   ...i

Using (2k, 3k) in equation i,

(2k)2+(3k)2-2k-3k=0

13k2-5k=0

k=0, k=513

Hence, k=513.
