If the circles x 2 + y 2 + 5 K x + 2 y + K = 0 and 2 x 2 + y 2 + 2 K x + 3 y - 1 = 0 , K ∈ R ,…

If the circles x2+y2+5Kx+2y+K=0 and 2x2+y2+2Kx+3y-1=0,KR, intersect at the points P and Q, then the line 4x+5y-K=0, passes through P and Q, for:
  1. exactly two values of K
  2. no value of K
  3. exactly one value of K
  4. infinitely many values of K

Solution

S1=x2+y2+5Kx+2y+K=0

S2=x2+y2+Kx+y2+12=0

   Equation of common chord is S1-S2=0

  4Kx+32y+K-12=0     ....1 
Give equation of common chord is 4x-5y-K=0    ....2

 1 &2 are identical
   4K4=32-5=K-12-K

Clearly, no value of K satisfy simultaneously.
