Q39 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (12 Apr Shift 2) · Mathematics
A circle touching the axis at and making an intercept of length on the axis passes through the point:
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution

Since circle touches the x-axis at hence centre can be taken as and radius
Since y-intercept is 8, by applying Pythagorean theorem
Hence two circles are possible
and
Clearly satisfies the given equation of circle.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
