Circle 1 Question 12

12. Circle(s) touching X-axis at a distance 3 from the origin and having an intercept of length 27 on Y-axis is/are

(a) x2+y26x+8y+9=0

(2013 Adv.)

(b) x2+y26x+7y+9=0

(c) x2+y26x8y+9=0

(d) x2+y26x7y+9=0

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 12. (a , c)

Solution:

  1. PLAN

Here, the length of intercept on Y-axis is 2f2c and if circle touches X-axis

passes through (3,0).

9+6g+c=0g2=c2f2c=27f2c=7

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

g2+6g+9=0(g+3)2=0g=3 and c=9f2=16f=±4x2+y26x±8y+9=0
