  • question_answer
    If the circle \[{{(x-h)}^{2}}+{{(y-k)}^{2}}={{r}^{2}}\] touches the curve \[y={{x}^{2}}+1\]at a point (1, 2), then the possible locations of the points (h, k) are given by                                           [AMU 2000]

    A)            \[hk=5/2\]                                

    B)            \[h+2k=5\]

    C)            \[{{h}^{2}}-4{{k}^{2}}=5\]   

    D)            \[{{k}^{2}}={{h}^{2}}+1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Trick: Put point \[(1,\,2)\] in each option, only equation \[h+2k=5\] satisfies. Hence option  is correct.
