10-1.Circle and System of Circles
medium
The equation of circle which touches the axes of coordinates and the line $\frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{4} = 1$ and whose centre lies in the first quadrant is ${x^2} + {y^2} - 2cx - 2cy + {c^2} = 0$, where $c$ is
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$6$
Solution
(d) Its centre is of type $(c, c)$ and
radius is $\left| {\frac{{4c + 3c – 12}}{5}} \right|\;$
$= \sqrt {{c^2}} $
$\Rightarrow c = 6$.
