The length of the radius of the circle which touches the x -axis at the point 1 , 0 and passes through the point 2 , 3 is
Options
- A10 3 units
- B3 5 units
- C6 5 units
- D5 3 units
Correct answer
D. 5 3 units
Step-by-step solution
Circle touches the x -axis at 1 , 0 So, center of circle is 1 , k and radius is k . Hence, the equation of circle is: x - 1 2 + y - k 2 = k 2 It passes through the point 2 , 3 , ⇒ 1 + 9 - 6 k + k 2 = k 2 ∴ k = 5 3
