A.
$\left(\frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}\right)$ lies inside the circle
B.
$(a, b)$ lies inside the circle
C.
$\left(\frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}\right)$ lies on the circle
D.
$(a, b)$ lies on the circle.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Curve : $x^2+y^2=1$
Let $\left(\frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}\right)=\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ touches the circles, then equation of tangent at $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ is
$\begin{aligned}
x x_1+y y_1 & =1 \\
\Rightarrow \quad x \cdot\left(\frac{1}{a}\right)+y \cdot\left(\frac{1}{b}\right) & =1 \Rightarrow \frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1
\end{aligned}$

A.
Distance between two centres is the average of radii of both the circles.
B.
Both circles pass through the centre of each other.
C.
Circles have two intersection points.
D.
Both circle's centers lie inside region of one another.

Centre C1 $ \equiv $ (5, 5), radius r1 = 3
S2 $ \equiv $ x2 + y2 $-$ 16x $-$ 10y + 80 = 0
Centre C2 $ \equiv $ (8, 5), radius r2 = 3
Distance between centres = 3
Hence both circles pass through the centre of each other, have two intersection point and distance between two centres in average of radii of both the circles.
Hence, option (d) is the incorrect statement.

If one of the diameters of the circle x2 + y2 - 2x - 6y + 6 = 0 is a chord of another circle 'C',
whose center is at (2, 1), then its radius is ________.
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
Circle x2 + y2 - 2x - 6y + 6 = 0 has centre
O1(1, 3) and radius r
= 2.
Let centre O2
(2, 1) of required circle and its
radius being r.
Consider M with $r = {{1025} \over {513}}$. Let k be the number of all those circles Cn that are inside M. Let l be the maximum possible number of circles among these k circles such that no two circles intersect. Then
$\therefore$ Number of circles inside be 10 = k. Clearly, alternate circle do not intersect each other i.e. C1, C3, C5, C7, C9 do not intersect each other as well as C2, C4, C6, C8 and C10 do not intersect each other.
Hence, maximum 5 set of circles do not intersect each other.

The poles of the tangents to the circle $x^2+y^2=4$ with respect to the circle $(x+2)^2+y^2=8$, lie on
A.
$y^2+8 x=0$
B.
$x^2+8 y=0$
C.
$y^2-8 x=0$
D.
$x^2-8 y=0$
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
We know an important result:
If you draw tangents to the circle $x^2 + y^2 = a^2$, and then find their poles with respect to the circle $(x + a)^2 + y^2 = 2a^2$, all those poles will be on the curve $y^2 + 4a x = 0$.
In our question, $a = 2$. So, we are looking at the circles $x^2 + y^2 = 4$ and $(x + 2)^2 + y^2 = 8$.
Using the result, the poles of the tangents to $x^2 + y^2 = 4$ with respect to $(x+2)^2 + y^2 = 8$ will be on:
