The coordinates of the centre and radius of the circle represented by the equation
`(3-2lambda)x^(2)+lambda y^(2)-4x+2y-4=0` are

A

(2, 1), 3

B

(-2, 1), 3

C

(2, 1), 3

D

(2, -1), 1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The equation `(3-2lambda) x^(2)+lambday^(2)-4x+2y-4=0` will represent a circle if
`3-2lambda=lambda = lambda rArr lambda=1 " " [:' "Coeff. of" x^(2)="Coeff. of " y^(2)]`
Putting `lambda=1` in the given equation, we get
`x^(2)+y^(2)-4x+2y-4=0`
The coordinates of centre and radius of the circle represented by this equation are (2, -1) and 3 respectively.
