Q.
Let (a,β) be an ordered pair of real numbers satisfying the equation x2−4x+y2+3=0. If the maximum and minimum values of a2+β2​ are l and s respectively, then the value of 2(l+sl−s​) is equal to
a2+β2​ represents the distance of (a,β) from the origin (0,0) .
Now, let the line joining O(0,0) and center of circle C(2,0) cuts the circle at points (1,0)=A and (3,0)=B ,then, l=OB=3 and s=OA=1 ⇒2(l+sl−s​)=1
