Circle And System Of Circles Question 162

Question: If the lines $ x+y=6 $ and $ x+2y=4 $ be diameters of the circle whose diameter is 20, then the equation of the circle is

Options:

A) $ x^{2}+y^{2}-16x+4y-32=0 $

B) $ x^{2}+y^{2}+16x+4y-32=0 $

C) $ x^{2}+y^{2}+16x+4y+32=0 $

D) $ x^{2}+y^{2}+16x-4y+32=0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Here $ r=10 $ (radius) Centre will be the point of intersection of the diameters, i.e. (8, -2).

Hence required equation is $ {{(x-8)}^{2}}+{{(y+2)}^{2}}=10^{2}\Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}-16x+4y-32=0 $ .
