A circle with center at \( (x, y) = (0.5, 0) \) and radius = 0.5 intersects with another circle with center at \( (x, y) = (1, 1) \) and radius = 1 at two points. One of the points of intersection \( (x, y) \) is:
Show Hint
- \( (0, 0) \)
- \( (0.2, 0.4) \)
- \( (0.5, 0.5) \)
- \( (1, 2) \)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Expanding Equation 1: \[ (x - 0.5)^2 + y^2 = 0.25 + y^2 = 0.25 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2 - x + 0.25 + y^2 = 0.25 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2 - x + y^2 = 0. \] Expanding Equation 2: \[ (x - 1)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (x^2 - 2x + 1) + (y^2 - 2y + 1) = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2 - 2x + y^2 - 2y + 2 = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2 - 2x + y^2 - 2y = -1. \] Now, subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2: \[ (x^2 - 2x + y^2 - 2y) - (x^2 - x + y^2) = -1 - 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -x - 2y = -1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x + 2y = 1 \quad \cdots (3). \] Now, substitute \( x = 1 - 2y \) from Equation (3) into Equation 1: \[ (1 - 2y)^2 - (1 - 2y) + y^2 = 0. \] Expanding and solving for \( y \), we get: \[ 1 - 4y + 4y^2 - 1 + 2y + y^2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5y^2 - 2y = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y(5y - 2) = 0. \] Thus, \( y = 0 \) or \( y = 0.4 \). For \( y = 0.4 \), substitute into \( x = 1 - 2y \) to get \( x = 0.2 \). Thus, the point of intersection is \( (0.2, 0.4) \).
The other point of intersection can be calculated similarly, but for this question, the correct answer is \( (0.2, 0.4) \).

“Why do they pull down and do away with crooked streets, I wonder, which are my delight, and hurt no man living? Every day the wealthier nations are pulling down one or another in their capitals and their great towns: they do not know why they do it; neither do I. It ought to be enough, surely, to drive the great broad ways which commerce needs and which are the life-channels of a modern city, without destroying all history and all the humanity in between: the islands of the past.”
