    The equation of pair of lines joining origin to the points of intersection of \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=9\]and \[x+y=3\] is [MP PET 2004]

    A)            \[{{(x+y)}^{2}}=9\]            

    B)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{(3-x)}^{2}}=9\]

    C)            \[xy=0\]                                 

    D)            \[{{(3-x)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=9\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Given, \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=9\]                                     .....(i)                                 \[x+y=3\]                                            .....(ii)            From equation (i) and (ii), we find the point of intersection. Now, \[{{x}^{2}}+{{(x-3)}^{2}}=9\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+9+{{x}^{2}}-6x=9\]            \[\Rightarrow 2{{x}^{2}}=6x\Rightarrow x=3\]            Putting \[x=3\] in equation (ii), \[y=0\]            Similarly to get second point            Putting \[x=3-y\] in equation (i) \[y=3,\,x=0\]. So, the co-ordinates of both points are \[(3,\,0)\] and \[(0,\,3)\]. So, separate equation of lines joining these points from origin \[y-0=\frac{0-0}{0-3}\,(x-3)\Rightarrow y=0\].            Now, taking point (0, 0) and (0, 3) we get \[x=0\]            Hence, required equation of pair of lines is \[xy=0\].
