Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the equation of the circle is \[ x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0 \] This circle touch the coordinate axes and lying in the first quadrant, then \[ \begin{aligned} g^2-c & =0 \text { and } f^2-c=0 \\ g & = \pm \sqrt{c}, f= \pm \sqrt{c} \end{aligned} \] circle lies in first quadrant…
