If each of the lines $5 x+8 y=13$ and $4 x-y=3$ contains a diameter of the circle $x^2+y^2-2\left(a^2-7 a+11\right)$ $x-2\left(a^2-6 a+6\right) y+b^3+1=0$, then :
  1. $a=5$ and $b \notin(-1,1)$
  2. $a=1$ and $b \notin(-1,1)$
  3. $\quad a=2$ and $b \notin(-\infty, 1)$
  4. $a=5$ and $b \in(-\infty, 1)$

Solution

Point of intersection of two given lines is $(1,1)$. Since each of the two given lines contains a diameter of the given circle, therefore the point of intersection of the two given lines is the centre of the given circle. Hence centre $=(1,1)$ $ \therefore a^2-7 a+11=1 \Rightarrow a=2,5 $ and $a^2-6 a+6=1 \Rightarrow a=1,5$ From both (i) and (ii), $a=5$ Now on replacing each of $\left(a^2-7 a+11\right)$ and $\left(a^2-6 a+6\right)$ by 1 , the equation of the given circle is $x^2+y^2-2 x-2 y+b^3+1=0$ $ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2+b^3=1 \\ & \Rightarrow b^3=1-\left[(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2\right] \\ & \therefore b \in(-\infty, 1) \end{aligned} $
