A circle touches the \(y\) -axis at the point \((0,4)\) and passes through the point \((2,0) .\) Which of the following lines is not a tangent to this circle?

  1. A \(3 x-4 y-24=0\)
  2. B \(3 x+4 y-6=0\)
  3. C \(4 x+3 y-8=0\)
  4. D \(4 x-3 y+17=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 x+3 y-8=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of family of circle touching y-axis at \((0,4)\) is given by \((x-0)^{2}+(y-4)^{2}+\lambda x=0\) It passes through \((2,0)\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \lambda=-10\) \(\Rightarrow \quad\) Required circle is \((x-0)^{2}+(y-4)^{2}-10 x=0\)…
