A circle touches the $y$ -axis at the point $(0,4)$ and passes through the point $(2,0) .$ Which of the following lines is not a tangent to this circle?
$3 x-4 y-24=0$
$3 x+4 y-6=0$
$4 x+3 y-8=0$
$4 x-3 y+17=0$
The equations of the tangents to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = {a^2}$ parallel to the line $\sqrt 3 x + y + 3 = 0$ are
If the tangent to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = {r^2}$ at the point $(a, b)$ meets the coordinate axes at the point $A$ and $B$, and $O$ is the origin, then the area of the triangle $OAB$ is
Consider the following statements :
Assertion $(A)$ : The circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = 1$ has exactly two tangents parallel to the $x$ - axis
Reason $(R)$ : $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0$ on the circle exactly at the point $(0, \pm 1)$.
Of these statements
Lines are drawn from a point $P (-1, 3)$ to a circle $x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 4y - 8 = 0$. Which meets the circle at $2$ points $A$ & $B$, then the minimum value of $PA + PB$ is
The centres of two circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ each of unit radius are at a distance of $6$ units from each other. Let $P$ be the mid point of the line segment joining the centres of $C_1$ and $C_2$ and $C$ be a circle touching circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ externally. If a common tangent to $C_1$ and $C$ passing through $P$ is also a common tangent to $C_2$ and $C$, then the radius of the circle $C$ is
