10-1.Circle and System of Circles
easy

The equation of circle with centre $(1, 2)$ and tangent $x + y - 5 = 0$ is

A

${x^2} + {y^2} + 2x - 4y + 6 = 0$

B

${x^2} + {y^2} - 2x - 4y + 3 = 0$

C

${x^2} + {y^2} - 2x + 4y + 8 = 0$

D

${x^2} + {y^2} - 2x - 4y + 8 = 0$

Solution

(b) Radius of circle = perpendicular distance of tangent from the centre of circle

$ \Rightarrow $ $r = \frac{{1 + 2 – 5}}{{\sqrt {1 + 1} }} = \sqrt 2 $

Hence the equation of required circle is

${(x – 1)^2} + {(y – 2)^2} = {(\sqrt 2 )^2}$

$ \Rightarrow \,{x^2} + {y^2} – 2x – 4y + 3 = 0.$
