    The radius of the circle passing through the point    (6, 2) and two of whose diameters are \[x+y=6\]and \[x+2y=4\]is [Karnataka CET 2004]

    A)            4    

    B)            6

    C)            20  

    D)            \[\sqrt{20}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               Given, diameters of the circles are \[x+y=6\]and\[x+2y=4\]. We know that the intersection point of the diameters is called centre of the circle.                    \[\therefore \] Centre \[\equiv (8,\,-2)\]                    Since the circle is passing through the point (6, 2) Hence the distance between the centre (8, ? 2) and point (6, 2) will be the radius of the circle.                    \[\therefore \] Radius of the circle                    = \[\sqrt{{{(6-8)}^{2}}+{{(2+2)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{4+16}=\sqrt{20}\].
