    The equation of director circle of the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}},\]is  [BIT Ranchi 1990]

    A)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=4{{a}^{2}}\]                           

    B)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{2}{{a}^{2}}\]

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

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Director circle has its radius \[\sqrt{2}\] times that of radius of the given circle. Hence equation is \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=2{{a}^{2}}\].
