[JEE Main 2024, 27 Jan (Shift 1)]
✓ Correct answer: c)
\(\frac{5}{13}\)
Explanation
Given four points \((2 k, 3 k),(1,0),(0,1),(0,0)\)
since \((1,0)\) and \((0,1)\) subtends an angle of \(90^{\circ}\) at \((0,0)\)
Circle passes through \((1,0),(0,1),(0,0)\)
\((x-1)(x-0)+(y-0)(y-1)=0\)
\( x^2+y^2-x-y=0 \)
\((2 k, 3 k)\) lies on circle.
\( \Rightarrow 4 k^2+9 k^2-2 k-3 k=0 \)
\( k=\frac{5}{13}\)
