    The length of intercept, the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+10x-6y+9=0\] makes on the x-axis is  [Pb. CET 2001]

    A)            2    

    B)            4

    C)            6    

    D)            8

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               Comparing the given equation with \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0\], we get \[g=5\]                    \[\therefore \] Length of intercept on x-axis = \[2\sqrt{{{g}^{2}}-c}\]                                                                         = \[2\sqrt{{{(5)}^{2}}-9}\]= 8.
