If (2, 4) is a point interior to the circle `x^(2)+y^(2)-6x-10y+lambda=0` and the circle does not cut the axes at any point, thenA. `lambda in(25, 32)`B. `lambda in(9, 32)`C. `lambda in(32, oo)`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
We have,
`x^(2)+y^(2)-6x-10y+lambda=0 " " ...(i)`
The circle does not cut the coordinate axes. Therefore,
`9-lambda lt 0` and `25 - lambda lt 0` [Using : `g^(2)-c lt 0, f^(2)-clt0`]
`rArr lambda gt 25 " " ...(ii)`
It is given that the point (2, 4) lies inside the circle (i).
`:. 4+16-12-40 + lambda lt0rArr lambda lt 32 " " ...(iii)`
From (ii) and (iii), we get `lambda in (25, 32)`
