    If a variable line, \[3x+4y-\lambda =0\]is such that the two circles \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x-2y+1=0\]and\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-18x\]\[-2y+78=0\]are on its opposite sides, then the set of all values of \[\lambda \] is the interval [JEE Main Online Paper Held On 12-Jan-2019 Morning]

    A) (23, 31)                        

    B) (2, 17)

    C) [13, 23]            

    D)   [12, 21]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[{{S}_{1}}:{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x-2y+1=0\] \[{{C}_{1}}(1,1),{{r}_{1}}=1\] and \[{{S}_{2}}:{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-18x-2y+78=0\] \[{{C}_{2}}(9,1),{{r}_{2}}=2\] Centre of circles lie on opposite side of line \[3x+4y-\lambda =0\] \[\therefore \]\[(3+4-\lambda )(27+4-\lambda )<0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[(\lambda -7)(\lambda -31)<0\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\lambda \in (7,31)\] Line lies outside the circles \[{{S}_{1}}\]and \[{{S}_{2}}.\] \[\therefore \]\[\left| \frac{3+4-\lambda }{5} \right|\ge 1\Rightarrow \lambda \in (-\infty ,2]\cup [12,\infty )\] and \[\left| \frac{27+4-\lambda }{5} \right|\ge 2\Rightarrow \lambda \in (-\infty ,21]\cup [41,\infty )\] So,\[\lambda \in [12,21]\]
