In a square \(A B C D\) of side length \(a\), suppose \(A B\) and \(A D\) are along the coordinate axes. Then, the circle that circumscribes the square is

  1. A \(x^2+y^2+a(x+y)=0\)
  2. B \(x^2+y^2-a(x+y)=0\)
  3. C \(x^2+y^2+2 a(x+y)=0\)
  4. D \(x^2+y^2-2 a(x+y)=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x^2+y^2-a(x+y)=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B D\) is diameter. \(\therefore\) Circle is \[ \begin{array}{rr} & (x-0)(x-a)+(y-a)(y-0)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & x^2+y^2-a(x+y)=0 \end{array} \]
