Question: The circle represented by the equation $ x^{2}+y^{2}+2gx+2fy+c=0 $ will be a point circle, if

Options:

A) $ g^{2}+f^{2}=c $

B) $ g^{2}+f^{2}>c $

C) $ g^{2}+f^{2}+c=0 $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Using condition of point circle

$ R=\sqrt{g^{2}+f^{2}-c}=0\Rightarrow g^{2}+f^{2}=c $ .
