The equation of the concentric circle, with the circle $C_1$ having equation $x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y-12=0$ and having double area compared to the area of $\mathrm{C}_1$, is
  1. $x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y=27$
  2. $x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y=13$
  3. $x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y=50$
  4. $x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y=37$

Solution

$\begin{array}{ll} & x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y-12=0 \\ \therefore \quad & \left(x^2-6 x+9-9\right)+\left(y^2-4 y+4-4\right)-12=0 \\ \therefore \quad & (x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=25 \end{array}$ $\therefore \quad$ for circle $\mathrm{C}_1:$ Centre is $(3,2)$ and radius $=5$ $\therefore \quad$ Area of $\mathrm{C}_1=\pi \mathrm{r}^2=25 \pi$ Let the radius of required circle be R . Area of required circle $=2\left(\right.$ Area of $\left.\mathrm{C}_1\right)$ $\begin{array}{ll} \therefore & \pi R^2=2(25 \pi) \\ \therefore & R^2=50 \\ \therefore & R=5 \sqrt{2} \text { units } \end{array}$ $\therefore \quad$ Equation of the required circle is $(x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=50$ i.e. $x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y=37$
