Question: If the radius of the circle $ x^{2}+y^{2}+2gx+2fy+c=0 $ be r, then it will touch both the axes, if

Options:

A) $ g=f=r $

B) $ g=f=c=r $

C) $ g=f=\sqrt{c}=r $

D) $ g=f $ and $ c^{2}=r $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Conditions are $ g=f=r $ and $ \sqrt{g^{2}+f^{2}-c}=r $

$ \Rightarrow g=\sqrt{c} $ .
