10-1.Circle and System of Circles
medium
Tangents drawn from origin to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} - 2ax - 2by + {b^2} = 0$ are perpendicular to each other, if
A
$a - b = 1$
B
$a + b = 1$
C
${a^2} = {b^2}$
D
${a^2} + {b^2} = 1$
Solution

(c) Obviously, tangents from origin will be perpendicular if it touches both axes
$i.e.$, $a = b$ or ${a^2} = {b^2}$.
