Suppose a circle passes through \((2,2)\) and \((9,9)\) and touches the \(X\)-axis at \(P\). If \(O\) is the origin, then \(O P\) is equal to

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, the circle passes through \(A(2,2)\) and \(B(9,9)\) and it touches on \(X\)-axis at \(P\). \(\therefore \quad O P^2=O A \cdot O B\) ...(i) \(\begin{aligned} & O A=\sqrt{2^2+2^2}=2 \sqrt{2} \\ & O B=\sqrt{9^2+9^2}=9 \sqrt{2}\end{aligned}\)…
