    If the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0\] touches    x-axis, then

    A)            \[g=f\]                                       

    B)            \[{{g}^{2}}=c\]

    C)            \[{{f}^{2}}=c\]                     

    D)            \[{{g}^{2}}+{{f}^{2}}=c\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Touches x-axis, hence radius = ordinate of centre. Hence \[\sqrt{{{g}^{2}}+{{f}^{2}}-c}=(-f)\] or \[{{g}^{2}}=c\].
