Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Length of tangent from \(x^{2}+y^{2}+2 g x+2 f y+c_{1}=0\) To the circle \(x^{2}+y^{2}+2 g x+2 f y+c_{2}=0\) is \(\sqrt{c_{2}-c_{1}}\) Here, \(c_{2}=4\) and \(c_{1}=0\) So, required length \(=\sqrt{4-0}=\sqrt{4}=2\)
