Column I | Column II |
|---|---|
(A) Number of common tangents of x²+y²-4x-6y-3=0 and x²+y²+2x+2y+1=0 | (p) 2 |
(B) Common chord of x²+y²-4x-4y=0 and x²+y²=16 subtends angle π/k at origin; find k | (q) 0 |
(C) Shortest distance from (2,-7) to x²+y²-14x-10y-151=0 | (r) 3 |
(D) Minimum of √(x²+y²), given (x+5)²+(y-12)²=14² | (s) 1 |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
A: radii 4,1 and centre distance 5 give three tangents. B: the common chord is , at distance from the origin on the radius-4 circle, so its central angle is and . C: centre and radius 15; point-centre distance 13, so nearest distance 2. D: the circle has centre (-5, 12) at distance 13 from the origin and radius 14, so nearest distance 1.
