Circle And System Of Circles Question 212

Question: The equation of the circle concentric with the circle $ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x-6y-3=0 $ and touching y-axis, is

Options:

A) $ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x-6y-9=0 $

B) $ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x-6y+9=0 $

C) $ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x-6y+3=0 $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Equation of circle concentric to given circle is $ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x-6y+k=0 $ It touches $ x=0 $ , therefore Radius = Perpendicular distance from centre to $ x=0 $

$ \Rightarrow \sqrt{4+9-k}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{1}}\Rightarrow k=9 $

Hence required equation is $ x^{2}+y^{2}-4x-6y+9=0 $ .
