Let the tan gents drawn to the circle, $x^2 + y^2 = 16$ from the point $P(0, h)$ meet the $x-$ axis at point $A$ and $B.$ If the area of $\Delta APB$ is minimum, then $h$ is equal to
$4\sqrt 2$
$3\sqrt 3$
$3\sqrt 2$
$4\sqrt 3$
$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two concentric circles of radii $1$ and $2$ respectively. Two parallel tangents to $S_1$ cut off an arc from $S_2$. The length of the arc is
The line $3x - 2y = k$ meets the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = 4{r^2}$ at only one point, if ${k^2}$=
If a circle, whose centre is $(-1, 1)$ touches the straight line $x + 2y + 12 = 0$, then the coordinates of the point of contact are
Consider a circle $(x-\alpha)^2+(y-\beta)^2=50$, where $\alpha, \beta>0$. If the circle touches the line $y+x=0$ at the point $P$, whose distance from the origin is $4 \sqrt{2}$ , then $(\alpha+\beta)^2$ is equal to................
The angle between the pair of tangents from the point $(1, 1/2)$ to the circle $x^2 + y^2 + 4x + 2y -4=0$ is-
