From the point P (16, 7), tangents PQ and PR are drawn to the circle x2 + y2 - 2x - 4y - 20 = 0. If C is the centre of the circle, then area of the quadrilateral PQCR is

  • 15 sq unit

  • 50 sq unit

  • 75 sq unit

  • 150 sq unit


C.

75 sq unit

The equation of given circle is

x2 + y2 - 2x - 4y - 20 = 0

whose centre is (1, 2) and radius is 5.

Length of tangent, PQ

    = 162 + 72 - 2 × 16 - 4 × 7 - 20= 305 - 80= 225 = 15

 Area of quadrilateral PQCR     = 2 area of PQC     = 2 × 12 × PQ × QC     = 22 × 15 × 5     = 75 sq unit
