The equation of a circle through the intersection of x2 + y2 + 2x = 0 and x– y= 0 having minimum radius is-

A

x2 + y2 = 1

B

x2 + y2 –x – y = 1

C

x2 + y2 + x + y =0

D

None of these

Answer

x2 + y2 + x + y =0

Explanation

Solution

Intersection point of circle and line become end points of diameter of circle [Minimum radius]

x2 + y2 + 2x = 0; x – y = 0

Ю x2 + x2 + 2x = 0 Q x = y

Ю 2x2 + 2x = 0; Ю x (x +1) = 0

Ю x = 0, y = 0 & x = –1, y = –1

Eqn of circle (x – 0)(x + 1) + (y – 0)(y +1) = 0

Ю x2 + x + y2 + y = 0 Ю x2 + y2 + x + y = 0
