Tangents are drawn from any point of the circle x2 + y2 = a2 to the circle x2 + y2 = b2. If the chord of contact touches the circle x2 + y2 = c2, then
a, b, c are in AP
a, b, c are in GP
a, b, c are in HP
a, b, c are in GP
B.
a, b, c are in GP
Let (a, 0) be any point on the circle x2 + y2 = a2. Then, the equation of chord of contact from (a, 0) to the circle x2 + y2 = b2 is
ax - 0y = b2
This chord of contact touches the circle x2 + y2 = c2.
Radius of circle = Length of perpendicular from centre
Thus, a, b, c are in GP.
Equation of the circle, which passes through (4, 5) and whose centre is (2, 2), is
x2 + y2 + 4x + 4y - 5 = 0
x2 + y2 - 4x - 4y - 5 = 0
x2 + y2 - 4x = 13
x2 + y2 - 4x - 4y + 5 = 0
If one end of diameter of a circle x2 + y2 - 4x - 6y + 11 = 0 is (3, 4), then the other end is
(0, 0)
(1, 1)
(1, 2)
(2, 1)
Equation of the circle which passes through the points (3, - 2) and (- 2, 0) and whose centre lies on the line 2x - y - 3 = 0 , is
x2 + y2 - 3x - 12y + 2 = 0
x2 + y2 - 3x + 12y + 2 = 0
x2 + y2 + 3x + 12y + 2 = 0
x2 + y2 - 3x - 12y - 2 = 0

The equation of a circle passing through the vertex and the extremities of the latusrectum of the parabola y2 = 8x, is
x2 + y2 + 10x = 0
x2 + y2 + 10y = 0
x2 + y2 - 10x = 0
x2 + y2 - 5x = 0
