    The radius of the sphere \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}=12x+4y+3z\] is

    A)  13/2            

    B)  13

    C)  26              

    D)  52

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given equation of sphere is \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-12x-4y-3z=0\] \[\therefore \]Centre of sphere is \[\left( 6,2,\,\frac{3}{2} \right).\] Radius of sphere \[=\sqrt{{{(6)}^{2}}+{{(2)}^{2}}+{{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{2}}}\] \[=\sqrt{36+4+\frac{9}{4}}=\sqrt{\frac{169}{4}}\] \[=\frac{13}{2}\]
