The value of m for which the line y = mx lies wholly outside the circle x2 + y2 - 2x - 4y + 1 = 0 is / are
(a) (-4 /3 , 0 ) (b) (-4/3 , 0] (c) (0, 4/3) (d) none
Dear Sanchit
x2 + y2 - 2x - 4y + 1 = 0
compair with standard question
center(1,2) radius 2
perpendicular distance from center to line y=mx must be greater than radius of circle
mod[(m*1-1*2)/√(1+m2)] >2
so (m-2)2 >4(1+m2)
m2 +4 -4m >4 +4m2
3m2+4m <0
m(3m+4)<0
option a is correct

Dear Sanchit,
Given the circle equation as x2 + y2 - 2x - 4y + 1 = 0
Its center is (1,2) and radius is 2
Now the given line to be wholely outside the circle its perpendicular distance from the centre of the circle should be greater than the radius of the circle
thus perpendicular distance of line y=mx from (1,2) is
d = modulus of{(m-1)/√(m2+1)} And the condition is d > the radius of circle
---->modulus of{(m-1)/√(m2+1)} >2
By squaring on both sides and simplifying we get
---> m2 + (4/3)m < 0
Thus
-(4/3) < m <0
is the range of m and hence
answer is (a)
