A circle touching the x-axis at (3, 0) and making an intercept of length 8 on the y-axis passes through the point:
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
JEE Main 2019
Let centre of circle is C and circle cuts the 
-axis at B and A. Let mid-point of chord 
is M.
radius of circle
∴ equation of circle is,
(3, 10) satisfies this equation.
Although there will be another circle satisfying the same conditions that will lie below 
-axis having equation 
.
