Let the point at which the circle passing through 0,0 and 1,0 touches the circle x 2 + y 2 = 9 is P h , k , then k is equal to
Options
- A5
- B2 2
- C6
- D7
Correct answer
B. 2 2
Step-by-step solution
From the figure, for the small circle, the radius is 3 2 units and the centre is 1 2 , λ Therefore, 1 2 2 + λ 2 = 3 2 ⇒ λ = ± 2 Since, O P is the diameter of the circle, ⇒ P = 1 , ± 2 2 ⇒ k = 2 2
