    A circle has its centre at the origin and a point P (5, 0) lies on it. The point \[Q\left( 6,\,8 \right)\]lies outside the circle.

    A) True

    B) False

    C) Can't say

    D) Partially True/False

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    First, we draw a circle and a point from the given information.\
     
    Now, distance between origin i.e. O(0, 0) and \[P\left( 5,\,0 \right),\,OP=\sqrt{{{\left( 5-0 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 0-0 \right)}^{2}}}\]
     [\[\because\]Distance between two points   \[\left( {{x}_{1}},\,{{y}_{1}} \right)\]
    and \[\left( {{x}_{2}},\,{{y}_{2}} \right)\], \[d=\sqrt{{{\left( {{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( {{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}} \right)}^{2}}}\]]
    \[=\sqrt{{{5}^{2}}+{{0}^{2}}}=5\]units
    = Radius of circle and distance between origin O(0, 0)
    and \[Q\left( 6,\,8 \right),\,OQ=\sqrt{{{\left( 6-0 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 8-0 \right)}^{2}}}\]
                            \[=\sqrt{{{6}^{2}}+{{8}^{2}}}=\sqrt{36+64}\]
                            \[=\sqrt{100}=10\]units
    We know that, if the distance of any point from the centre is less than/equal to/ more than the radius, then the point is inside/on/outside the circle, respectively.
    Here, we see that, \[OQ>OP\]
    Hence, it is true that point \[Q\left( 6,\,8 \right)\] , lies outside the circle.
