The line passes through the centre of circle x² + y² – 16x – 4y = 0, it interacts with the positive coordinate axis at A & B. Then find the minimum value of OA + OB, where O is origin.

Eqⁿ : y – 0 = tan45° (x – 9) Þ y = (x – 9)

Option (B) is correct

|r₁ – r₂| < c₁c₂ < r₁ + r₂

-> $\left|2-\sqrt[]{4{\lambda }^2-9}\right|<\left|2\lambda \right|<2+\sqrt[]{4{\lambda }^2-9}$

$\left|2\lambda \right|-2<\sqrt[]{4{\lambda }^2-9}$    

$4{\lambda }^2+4-8\left|\lambda \right|<4{\lambda }^2-9$

  $\lambda >\frac{13}{8},\lambda <-\frac{13}{8}$           

$\sqrt[]{4{\lambda }^2-9}>0$

$\lambda >\frac{3}{2},\lambda <-\frac{3}{2}$

$\lambda \in \left(-\infty ,-\frac{13}{8}\right)\cup \left(\frac{13}{8},\infty \right)$           

Now,

$\left|2-\sqrt[]{4{\lambda }^2-9}\right|<\left|2\lambda \right|$            

$4+4{\lambda }^2-9-4\sqrt[]{4{\lambda }^2-9}<4{\lambda }^2$  

$4\sqrt[]{4{\lambda }^2-9}>-5\Rightarrow \lambda \in R$  

$\lambda \in \left(-\infty ,-\frac{13}{8}\right)\cup \left(\frac{13}{8},\infty \right)$  

Kindly consider the following figure

According to question,

$\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}\right)=\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}=\frac{1}{2}........(i)$

Equation of required line is $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1$ $\frac{}{}\frac{}{}$

Obviously B (2, 2) satisfying condition (i)

  $h=\frac{cos\theta +3}{2}$          

$k=\frac{sin\theta +2}{2}$            

-> $cos\theta =2h-3\&sin\theta =2k-2$

-> ${\left(h-3/2\right)}^2+{\left(k-1\right)}^2=\frac{1}{4}$

$\therefore$ circle of radius r = $\frac{1}{2}$
