    If the circle\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0\]is touched by\[y=x\]at\[P\]such that\[OP=6\sqrt{2}\], then the value of\[c\]is

    A)  36                                         

    B)  72

    C)  144                                       

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given equation of line y = x is written in polar form is                 \[\frac{x}{\cos \theta }=\frac{y}{\sin \theta }=r\], where\[\theta =\frac{\pi }{4}\] For point\[P,\,\,r=6\sqrt{2}\]. Therefore, coordinates of\[P\]are given by                 \[\frac{x}{\cos \frac{\pi }{4}}=\frac{y}{\sin \frac{\pi }{4}}=6\sqrt{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=6,\,\,y=6\] Since, point (6, 6) lies on                 \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[72+12(g+f)+c=0\]                         ... (i) Since,\[y=x\]touches the circle, therefore the equation\[2{{x}^{2}}+2x(g+f)+c=0\]has equal roots. \[\Rightarrow \]               \[4{{(g+f)}^{2}}=8c\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{(g+f)}^{2}}=2c\]                                         ... (ii) From Eq. (i)                 \[{{[12(g+f)]}^{2}}={{[-(c+72)]}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[144{{(g+f)}^{2}}={{(c+72)}^{2}}\]                 \[144(2c)={{(c+72)}^{2}}\]            [from Eq.(u)] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{(c-72)}^{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[c=72\]
