The two circles x2 + y2 = ax and x2 + y2 = c2(c > 0) touch each other if

  • 2|a| = c

  • |a| = c

  • a = 2c

  • |a| = 2c

Solution

B.

|a| = c

x2 + y2 = ax ...........(1)

(v) Relation R in the set A of human beings in a town at a particular time given by
(a)    R = {(x, y) : x and y work at the same place}
(b)    R = {(x,y) : x and y live in the same locality}
(c)    R = {(x, y) : x is exactly 7 cm taller than y}
(d)    R = {(x, y) : x is wife of y}
(e)    R = {(x,y) : x is father of y}
