On the circle with center O , points A, ~B are such that OA = AB . A point C is located on the tangent at B to the circle such that A and C are on the opposite sides of the line O B= and A B=B C . The line segment AC intersects the circle again at F . Then the ratio B O F: B O C is equal to:

Options

  1. A1: 2
  2. B2: 3
  3. C3: 4
  4. D4: 5

Correct answer

B. 2: 3

Step-by-step solution

1. A O B is equilatrual ( A O B= O A B= O B A=60^ ) 2. O B C is right angled isosceles ( O B C=90^ ) 3. A B C is isosceles ( B A C= B C A=15^ . ) 4. O A C=60^ - C A B=45^ 5. A O F is right angled isosceles ( A O F=90^ , O F A=45^ ) 6. B O F=90^ - A O B=30^ 7. O B C is right angled isosceles ( B O C=45^ ) B O F B O C = 30^ 45^ = 2 3

A circle touches both the coordinate axes and the straight line L 4 x +3 y -6=0 in the first quadrant. If this circle lies below the line L =0 , then the equation of that circle is 2025If the smallest circle through the points of intersection of x^2+y^2=a^2 and x +y =p, 0 < p < a is x^2+y^2-a^2+ (x +y -p)=0 then = 2025If the lines 3 x-4 y+4=0 and 6 x-8 y-7=0 are the tangents to the same circle, then the area of that circle (in sq.units) is 2025Circles are drawn through the point (2,0) to cut intercepts of length 5 units on the X -axis.
