Q31 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jun Shift 1) · Mathematics
Let a circle touch the lines and . If a line passing through the centre of the circle intersects at and at , then the equation of the circle is
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Given,
Here line and are parallel.
So,

Now point will satisfy so,
Also point will satisfy
So
Now distance between the parallel line will be the diameter
Diameter
So radius
Now mid-point of will give us centre of circle by symmetry, so by midpoint formula in we get centre ,
Now equation of circle will be
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
