If the length of the tangent from $(f, g)$ to the circle $x^2+y^2=6$ be twice the length of the tangent from the same point to the circle $x^2+y^2+3 x+3 y=0$, then $f^2+g^2+4 f+4 g+2$ is equal to
  1. –1
  2. 1
  3. 0
  4. –2

Solution

$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Given, } P=(f, g) \\ & S: x^2+y^2-6=0 \\ & S^{\prime}: x^2+y^2+3 x+3 y=0 \end{aligned} $ According to the question, $ \sqrt{S_{11}}=2 \sqrt{S_{11}^{\prime}} $ Squaring on both sides $ \left(\sqrt{S_{11}}\right)^2=\left(2 \sqrt{S_{11}^{\prime}}\right)^2 $ $ \begin{gathered} S_{11}=4 S_{11}^{\prime} \\ \left(g^2+f^2-6\right)=4\left(g^2+f^2+3 g+3 f\right) \\ 3 g^2+3 f^2+12 g+12 f+6=0 \end{gathered} $ Dividing by 3 on both sides, $ g^2+f^2+4 g+4 f+2=0 $ Hence, option (3) is correct
