JEE Main 2014 · 9 Apr · Shift 1, Mathematics question 81

If the point (1,4)(1,4) lies inside the circle x2+y2−6x−10y+p=0x^2+y^2-6x-10y+p=0 and the circle does not touch or intersect the coordinate axes, then the set of all possible values of pp is the interval :

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: D

The centre is (3,5)(3,5) and r2=34−pr^2=34-p.

  • Not meeting the axes: r<3r<3, so p>25p>25.
  • (1,4)(1,4) inside: 1+16−6−40+p<01+16-6-40+p<0, so p<29p<29.

p∈(25,29)p\in(25,29).
