Let the radius of each circle be r . Then the equation of E 1 , considering the origin of coordinates at C , is
( x − r ) 2 + ( y − r ) 2 = r 2
Equation of E 2 is
( x − 2 r ) 2 + ( y − r ) 2 = r 2
Solving we get the coordinates of I as
x I = 2 3 r , y I = 2 ( 2 + 3 ) r
Equation of red circle is
( x − 2 3 r ) 2 + ( y − 2 ( 2 + 3 ) r ) 2 = r 2
Solving this equation with the equation of E 1 we get the coordinates of M as
x M = 2 r , y M = 2 ( 2 + 3 ) r
Since ∣ J K ∣ is minimum, this line segment must be perpendicular to A B
So, coordinates of J are
x J = 2 3 r , y J = 2 r , and of K are
x K = 2 3 r , y K = 2 ( 4 + 3 ) r
So, area of △ J M K is
2 1 ∣ 2 r ( 2 4 + 3 r − 2 r ) + 2 3 r ( 2 r − 2 2 + 3 r ) + 2 3 r ( 2 2 + 3 r − 2 4 + 3 r ) ∣
= 4 r 2 3
It is given that r = 2 1 0 = 5
So, area of the triangle is 4 2 5 3
Since the triangles △ J M K and △ J L K have equal area, therefore area of the quadrilateral L J M K is twice the sum of △ J M K :
Area = 2 2 5 3
Hence X = 2 5 , Y = 3 , Z = 2
The equation of the given circle is
( x − 2 ) 2 + ( y − 3 ) 2 = 2 5 = 5 2
So the coordinates of the uppermost point of this circle are
x u = 2 , y u = 3 + 5 = 8 , and their product is x u y u = 2 × 8 = 1 6 .
