Q40 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jun Shift 2) · Mathematics

A circle touches both the y-axis and the line x+y=0. Then the locus of its center

  • A
    y=2x
  • B
    x=2y..
  • C
    y2-x2=2xy
  • Correct answer
    D
    x2−y2=2xy

Solution

 

Plotting the diagram of given data we have,Figure

Now to find locus, let centre be h,k. According to question

OM=ON distance 

⇒h=h+k2

squaring both sides we get

⇒2h2=h+k2  

⇒2h2=h2+k2+2hk

Replacing h with x & k with y we get

2x2=x2+y2+2xy

⇒x2−y2=2xy

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
