The equation of two circles which touch the \(Y\)-axis at \((0,3)\) and make an intercept of 8 units on \(X\)-axis are

  1. A \(x^{2}+y^{2} \pm 10 x-6 y+9=0\)
  2. B \(x^{2}+y^{2} \pm 6 x-10 y+9=0\)
  3. C \(x^{2}+y^{2}-8 x \pm 10 y+9=0\)
  4. D \(x^{2}+y^{2}+10 x \pm 6 y+9=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x^{2}+y^{2} \pm 10 x-6 y+9=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equation of circle touch the \(Y\)-axis at \((0,3)\).



So, from figure
\(
r=\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}}=5
\)The point \((0,3)\) and radius 5 satisfies the equation \(x^{2}+y^{2} \pm 10 x-6 y+9=0\)
Hence, it is the required equation of circle.
