A circle passing through the point \((1,0)\) makes an intercept of length 4 units on X -axis and an intercept of length \(2 \sqrt{11}\) units on Y - axis. If the centre of the circle lies in the fourth quadrant, then the radius of the circle is

  1. A \(4 \sqrt{5}\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(2 \sqrt{5}\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \sqrt{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the centre of the circle be \((h,k)\) and the radius be \(r\). X-intercept: \(2\sqrt{r^2 - k^2} = 4 \Rightarrow r^2 - k^2 = 4\). Y-intercept: \(2\sqrt{r^2 - h^2} = 2\sqrt{11} \Rightarrow r^2 - h^2 = 11\). Circle passes through \((1,0)\):…
