The diameter of the circle, whose Centre lies on the line in the first quadrant and which touches both the lines and is
Correct answer
3
Step-by-step solution
Centre of circle lies on the line .
Any point on the line can be assumed as \left(\alpha, 2 - \alpha\right).
Since both lines and touches the circle means distance from the Centre of circle to the line is equal to radius.
Let is radius of circle.
For the line
For the line
From \left(1\right)
\left|\alpha\right| = \left|\alpha - 3\right|⇒ {\alpha}^{2} = {\left(\alpha - 3\right)}^{2} ⇒ {\alpha}^{2} = {\alpha}^{2} - 6\alpha + 9⇒ 6\alpha = 9 ⇒ \alpha = \dfrac{3}{2}r = \left|\alpha\right| ⇒ r = \dfrac{3}{2}= 2r = 2\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) = 3.
