The four distinct points \( \Large \left(0,\ 0 \right),\ \left(2,\ 0\right),\ \left(0,\ -2\right)\ and\ \left(k,\ -2\right) \) are conocyclic, if k is equal to:


A) -2

B) 2

C) 1

D) 0

Correct Answer:
B) 2

Description for Correct answer:

Let the general equation of circle be

\( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}+2gx+2fy+c=0 \)the equation of circle passing through \( \Large \left(0,\ 0\right),\ \left(2,\ 0\right)\ and\ \left(0,\ -2\right) \)

\( \Large c = 0 \) ,,,(i)

\( \Large 4 + 4g + c = 0 \) ...(ii)

and \( \Large 4- 4f + c = 0 \) ,,,(iii)

Solving equations (i), (ii) and (iii), we get

c=0,g=-1,f=1 ...(iv)

The equation of circle becomes \( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}-2x+2y=0 \)

since, it is passes through \( \Large \left(k,\ -2\right) \), we get

\( \Large k^{2}+4-2k-4=0 => k = 0,\ 2 \)

We have already take a point \( \Large \left( 0, -2 \right) \) so we take only k = 2.
