AP EAMCET · Maths · Circle
From a point \(P(0, b)\) two tangents are drawn to the circle \(x^2+y^2=16\) and these two tangents intersect \(X\)-axis is two points \(A\) and \(B\). If the area of \(\triangle P A B\) is minimum, then the equation of its circumcircle is
- A \(x^2+y^2=16 \sqrt{2}\)
- B \(x^2+y^2=64\)
- C \(x^2+y^2=32\)
- D \(x^2+y^2=4 \sqrt{2}\)
Answer & Solution
