    A circle is concentric with the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x+12y+15=0\] and has area double of its area. The equation of the circle is

    A)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x+12y-15=0\]

    B)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x+12y+15=0\]

    C)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x+12y+45=0\]

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Equation of circle concentric to given circle is \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x+12y+k=0\]                                    ?. (i)                    Radius of circle (i) \[=\sqrt{2}\] (radius of given circle)                    \[\Rightarrow \sqrt{9+36-k}=\sqrt{2}\sqrt{9+36-15}\]                    \[\Rightarrow 45-k=60\Rightarrow k=-15\]                    Hence the required equation of circle is                    \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x+12y-15=0\].
