Question
If $\left( a,\frac{1}{a} \right),\left( b,\frac{1}{b} \right),\left( c,\frac{1}{c} \right)$ and $\left( d,\frac{1}{d} \right)$ are four distinct points on a circle of radius 4 units then, $abcd$ is equal to:
Options
A.4
B.$1/4$
C.1
D.16
Solution
[Key Concept: Four points $(t,\frac{1}{t})$ on a circle of radius $4$: the product of the parameters is $1$.]
Let circle is
$$x^{2} + y^{2} + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$$
$$\left( d,\frac{1}{d} \right)*\left( a,\frac{1}{b} \right)*\left( a,\frac{1}{a} \right)$$
$$Put\left( t,\frac{1}{t} \right)$$
$$\Rightarrow \ abcd = 1 $$
