A circle \(C\) passes through \((2 a, 0)\) and the line \(2 x=a\) is the radical axis of the circle \(C\) and the circle \(x^2+y^2=a^2\), then

  1. A centre of \(C\) is \((-a, 0)\) and \(C\) passes through \((0,0)\) and \(\left(-a_1-a\right)\)
  2. B circle \(C\) is \(x^2+y^2-2 a x-2 a y=0\)
  3. C centre of \(C\) is \((a, 0)\) and \(C\) passes through \((0,0)\) and \((a, a)\)
  4. D centre of \(C\) is \((0,-a)\) and \(C\) passes through \((-a,-a)\) and \((0,0)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) centre of \(C\) is \((a, 0)\) and \(C\) passes through \((0,0)\) and \((a, a)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Radical axis \(P Q\) is \(x-\frac{a}{2}=0\) which cuts the circle \(x^2+y^2=a^2\) in \(P\) and \(Q\). Now, any circle which passes through the points \(P\) and \(Q\) will have radical axis the line \(P Q\) with respect to \(x^2+y^2-a^2=0\). Hence, its equation is the equation of…
