If the lines 3x - 4y - 7 = 0 and 2x - 3y - 5 = 0 are two diameters of a circle of area 49π sq unit, then equation of the circle is

  • x2 + y2 + 2x - 2y - 62 = 0

  • x2 + y2 - 2x + 2y - 62 = 0

  • x2 + y2 - 2x + 2y - 47 = 0

  • x2 + y2 + 2x - 2y - 47 = 0

The equation of the common tangent touching the circle (x - 3)2 + y2 = 9 and parabola y = 4x above the x-axis is

  • √3y = 3x + 1

  • √3y = -( x + 3 )

  • √3y = x + 3

  • √3y = -( 3x + 1 )


C.

√3y = x + 3

Any tangent to y2 = 4x is y = . It touches the circle, if 3 =
