The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

Ans.

(i)

Sol. Circle x 2 + y 2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0

hyperbola x = ct, y = ; t ∈ R 0

c 2 t 2 + + 2g.ct + 2f + k = 0

c 2 t 4 + 2gct 3 + kt 2 + 2fct + c 2 = 0

t 1 t 2 t 3 t 4 = 1

(ii)

Sol. Centre of mean of points of intersection of circle and hyperbola lies at the mid point of line joining their centre

Let (h, k) be the centre of circle = h & k =

(iii)

Sol. Let centroid be ( α, β )

x 1 = 2h – 3 α & y 1 = 2k – 3 β and (x 1 ,y 1 ) lie in hyperbola

xy = c 2 locus of ( α , β ) is also a hyperbola.
