Question

Determine the radius of the circle, two of whose tangents are the lines 2x+ 3y – 9 = 0 and 4x + 6y + 19 = 0.

Solution

Correct option is

 

The given tangents are

                 2x + 3y – 9 = 0                    …(1)

and           4x + 6y + 19 = 0  

Which are parallel, then distance between parallel tangents must be diameter of the circle. Then diameter
