The radius of a circle, having minimum area, which touches the curve y = 4 – x2 and the lines, y = |x| is

  • 4 space left parenthesis square root of 2 space plus 1 right parenthesis
  • 2 left parenthesis square root of 2 space plus 1 right parenthesis
  • 2 left parenthesis square root of 2 space minus 1 right parenthesis
  • 4 left parenthesis square root of 2 space minus 1 right parenthesis

Solution

D.

4 left parenthesis square root of 2 space minus 1 right parenthesis


There are two circles satisfying the given
conditions. The circle shown is of least area.
Let radius of circle is 'r'
∴ co-ordinates of centre = (0, 4 – r)
∴ circle touches the line y = x in first quadrant
therefore space open vertical bar fraction numerator 0 minus left parenthesis 4 minus 2 right parenthesis over denominator square root of 2 end fraction close vertical bar space equals space straight r space
rightwards double arrow straight r space minus space 4 space equals space plus-or-minus space straight r square root of 2
therefore space straight r space equals space fraction numerator 0 minus left parenthesis 4 minus 2 right parenthesis over denominator square root of 2 end fraction space equals space straight r space minus 4 space equals space plus-or-minus straight r square root of 2
therefore space space straight r space equals space fraction numerator 4 over denominator square root of 2 space plus 1 end fraction space equals space 4 left parenthesis square root of 2 minus 1 right parenthesis
