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

$$x^{2} + y^{2} + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$$

$$\left( d,\frac{1}{d} \right)*\left( a,\frac{1}{b} \right)*\left( a,\frac{1}{a} \right)$$

$$Put\left( t,\frac{1}{t} \right)$$

$$\Rightarrow \ abcd = 1 $$
