The length of the intercept on the line 4 x - 3 y - 10 = 0 by the circle x 2 + y 2 - 2 x + 4 y - 20 = 0 is

The length of the intercept on the line 4x-3y-10=0 by the circle x2+y2-2x+4y-20=0 is
  1. 5
  2. 2
  3. 10
  4. 6

Solution

Given,

Circle x2+y2-2x+4y-20=0

Now center will be  1, -2

So, the line 4x-3y-10=0 passes through center

Then length of the intercept equal to diameter of circle

So, radius r=g2+f2-c=1+4+20=5

So, diameter d=2r=2×5=10
