    \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x-6y+4=0,\] \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x\]\[-4y+3=0,\] \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2kx+2y+1=0\]. If the  radical centre of the above three circles exists, then which of the following cannot be the value off k?

    A)  \[2\]                                    

    B)  \[1\]

    C)                  \[5\]                                    

    D)  \[4\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, equation of circles are \[{{S}_{1}}\equiv {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x-6y+4=0\] \[{{S}_{2}}\equiv {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x-4y+3=0\]                 and        \[{{S}_{3}}\equiv {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2kx+2y+1=0\] Now, radical axis of circle \[{{S}_{1}}\] and \[{{S}_{2}}\] is                 \[{{S}_{1}}-{{S}_{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x-6y+4-{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}+2x\]                                                 \[+4y-3=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-4x-2y+1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[4x+2y+1=0\]                   ??(i) Radical axis of circle \[{{S}_{2}}\] and \[{{S}_{3}}\]is                 \[{{S}_{2}}-{{S}_{3}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x-4y+3-{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}-2kx\]                                                 \[-2y-1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-(2+2k)x-6y+2=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(2+2k)x+6y-2=0\]                         ?..(ii) For existence of radical centre                 \[\left| \begin{matrix}    2 & 2  \\    2+2k & 6  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\ne 0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[24-2(2+2k)\ne 0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[24-4-4\,\,k\ne 0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[20-4\,\,k\ne 0\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[k\ne 5\]
