If the length of the tangent from \((h, k)\) to the circle \(x^2+y^2=16\) is twice the length of the tangent from the same point to the circle \(x^2+y^2+2 x+2 y=0\), then

  1. A \(h^2+k^2+4 h+4 k+16=0\)
  2. B \(h^2+k^2+3 h+3 k=0\)
  3. C \(3 h^2+3 k^2+8 h+8 k+16=0\)
  4. D \(3 h^2+3 k^2+4 h+4 k+16=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3 h^2+3 k^2+8 h+8 k+16=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equations of circle is \[ x^2+y^2=16 \] and \(\quad x^2+y^2+2 x+2 y=0\) According to the questions, Length of the tangent from \((h, k)\) to the circle \[ x^2+y^2=16 \] \(=2 \times\) Length of the tangent from \((h, k)\) to the circle \(x^2+y^2+2 x+2 y=0\)…
