A circle C touches X -axis and makes an intercept of length 2 units on Y -axis. If the centre of this circle lies on the line \(y=x+1\) then a circle passing through the centre of the circle C is

  1. A \(x^2+y^2-2 x-4 y+1=0\)
  2. B \(x^2+y^2-26 x-20 y+19=0\)
  3. C \(x^2+y^2-20 x-26 y+19=0\)
  4. D \(x^2+y^2+2 x-4 y+1=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x^2+y^2-26 x-20 y+19=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the centre of circle C be \((h,k)\) and radius be \(r\). Touches X-axis \(\implies r = |k|\). Y-intercept length is 2 \(\implies 2\sqrt{r^2-h^2}=2 \implies r^2-h^2=1\). Centre lies on \(y=x+1 \implies k=h+1\). \(k^2-h^2=1\).…
