The equation of the circle having x-y-2=0 and x-y+2=0 as two tangents and x+y=0 as a diameter is

Options

  1. Ax²+y²=1
  2. Bx²+y²=2
  3. Cx²+y²-2 x+2 y-1=0
  4. Dx²+y²+2 x-2 y+1=0

Correct answer

B. x²+y²=2

Step-by-step solution

Since, the equation of tangents x-y-2=0 and x-y+2=0 are parallel. Therefore, distance between them = Diameter of the circle aligned &= | 2-(-2) 1²+1² | &= 4 2 =2 2 aligned Radius = 1 2 (2 2 )= 2 Now, required equation of circle is aligned (x-0)²+(y-0)² &=( 2 )² x²+y² &=2 aligned
