    The condition for a line \[y=2x+c\] to touch the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=16\] is :

    A)  \[c=10\]                             

    B)  \[{{c}^{2}}=80\]

    C)  \[c=12\]                             

    D)  \[{{c}^{2}}=64\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    If \[y=mx+c\] touches the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}\], then \[{{c}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}=(1+{{m}^{2}})\] Now the line \[y=2x+c\] touches me circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=16\]if \[\therefore \]  \[{{c}^{2}}=16\,\,(1+4)=16\times 5\] or            \[{{c}^{2}}=80\]
