Circles Arjuna
A line meets the coordinate axes in A and B. A circle is circumscribed about the ΔAOB. If m,
n are the distances of the tangent to the circle at the origin from the points A and B
respectively, then the diameter of the circle is.
Options:
(a) m (m + n)
(b) m + n
(c) n (m + n)
(d) 2(m + n)

Question Stem
Consider the region R = {(x, y) ∈ R × R : x ≥ 0 and y2 ≤ 4 - x}. Let F be the family of all
circles that are contained in R and have centres on the x-axis. Let C be the circle that has
largest radius among the circles in F. Let (⍺, β) be a point where the circle C meets the curve
y2 = 4 - x.
1. The radius of the circle C is_____
