1. x 2 + y 2 + 2x + 2y – 2 = 0 9(1 – n 2) + 18 (1 + n 2) + 9(1 – n 2 )
(x + 1) 2 + (y + 1) 2 = 4 = 36 > 0
Director circle of the above circle is -  B lies outside the circle.
(x + 1) 2 + (y + 1) 2 = 8 4. for n > 1, locus is -
x 2 + y 2 + 2x + 2y – 6 = 0 (n 2 – 1) (x 2 + y 2) – 6x(1 + n 2) + 9(n 2 – 1) = 0
 Tangents drawn from any point on the second putting A (– 3, 0) we get
circle to the first circle are perpendicular. 9(n 2 – 1) + 18(1 + n 2) + 9(n 2 – 1) = 36 n 2 > 0
Hence, statement-1 is true and statement-2 explains & putting B(3, 0) we get
it. 9(n 2 – 1) – 18(1 + n 2 ) + 9(n 2 – 1) = – 36 < 0
