If the point \((1,4)\) lies inside the circle \(x^2+y^2-6 x-10 y+p=0\) and the circle does not touch or intersect the coordinates axes, then
  1. \(0 < p < 34\)
  2. \(25 < p < 29\)
  3. \(9 < p < 25\)
  4. \(7 < p < 29\)

Solution

Equation of given circle \(\begin{array}{rlrl} & x^2+y^2-6 x-10 y+p & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & (x-3)^2+(y-5)^2 & =34-p \\ \therefore & 34-p > 0 \Rightarrow p < 34 \quad \ldots (i) \end{array}\) \(\because\) Circle doesn't touch or intersect the coordinate axis, so \(\begin{array}{ll} \sqrt{34-p} < 3, \quad \text{for X-axis} \\ \Rightarrow 34-p < 9 \Rightarrow p > 25 \quad \ldots (ii) \\ \text {and } \sqrt{34-P} < 5, \quad \text{for Y-axis} \\ \Rightarrow 34-p < 25 \\ \Rightarrow p > 9 \quad \ldots (iii) \end{array}\) \(\because\) Point \((1,4)\) lies inside the circle, so \(\begin{array}{llll} & 1+16-6-40+p & < 0 \\ \Rightarrow & p < 29 \quad \ldots (iv) \end{array}\) From inequalities Eqs. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get \(25 < p < 29\) Hence, option (b) is correct.
