    The equation of the circle in the first quadrant which touches each axis at a distance 5 from the origin is  [MP PET 1997]

    A)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+5x+5y+25=0\]

    B)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-10x-10y+25=0\]

    C)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-5x-5y+25=0\]

    D)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+10x+10y+25=0\]                   

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               The centre of the circle which touches each axis in first quadrant at a distance 5, will be (5, 5) and radius will be 5.                    \[\therefore \]\[{{(x-h)}^{2}}+{{(y-k)}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}\]\[\Rightarrow {{(x-5)}^{2}}+{{(y-5)}^{2}}={{(5)}^{2}}\]                    \[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-10x-10y+25=0\].
