The circumference of a circle passing through the point $(4,6)$ with two normals represented by $2 x-3 y+4=0$ and $x+y-3=0$ is
  1. $5 \pi$
  2. $10 \pi$
  3. $25 \pi$
  4. $8 \pi$

Solution

Intersection of two normals will be the centre of the circle. $2 x-3 y+4=0$....(i) and $x+y-3=0$ ....(ii) Solving equations (i) and (ii) we get, Centre $=(1,2)$ Also, circle passes through $(4,6)$ $\therefore$ Radius $(r)=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(6-2)^2}=5$ So, circumference $=2 \pi r=10 \pi$.
