Circle 3 Question 15

15. The equation of circle C is

(a) (x23)2+(y1)2=1

(b) (x23)2+y+122=1

(c) (x3)2+(y+1)2=1

(d) (x3)2+(y1)2=1

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 15. (d)

Solution:

  1. Let centre of circle C be (h,k).

 Then, |3h+k63+1|=13h+k6=2,23h+k=4

[rejecting 2 because origin and centre of C are on the same side of PQ ] The point (3,1) satisfies Eq. (i).

Equation of circle C is (x3)2+(y1)2=1.

Clearly, points E and F satisfy the equations given in option (d).
