If the circle x 2 + y 2 - 4 x - 8 y - 5 = 0 intersects the line 3   x - 4   y - m = 0 in two…

If the circle x2+y2-4x-8y-5=0 intersects the line 3 x-4 y-m=0 in two distinct points, then the number of integral values of ' m ' is
  1. 52
  2. 51
  3. 50
  4. 49

Solution

If the circle is intersecting line 3x-4y=m at two distinct points then we can say that

Radius > length of perpendicular from center to the given line

Perpendicular distance, P=ax1+by1+ca2+b2, r=g2+f2-c

4+16+5>32-44-m9+16

m+10<25

m+10<25 or m+10>-25

-35<m<15

There are 49 integers between -35 & 15

So, the correct answer is 49.
