Q. If $g^{2} + f^{2} = c$, then the equations $x^{2} + y^{2} + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$ will represent

A) A circle of radius g
B) A circle of radius $f$
C) A circle of diameter $\sqrt{c}$
D) A circle of radius 0
Explanation

(d)
Given that, $x^{2} + y^{2} + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$
and $g^{2} + f^{2} = c$
$\therefore Radius\ of\ circle = \sqrt{g^{2} + f^{2} - c}$
$\Rightarrow Radius = 0\ \ (\because g^{2} + f^{2} = c)$
Thus given equation represents a circles of radius 0
