Let a circle $C$ touch the lines $L_{1}: 4x - 3y + K_{1} = 0$ and $L_{2}: 4x - 3y + K_{2} = 0$,where $K_{1}, K_{2} \in R$. If a line passing through the centre of the circle $C$ intersects $L_{1}$ at $(-1, 2)$ and $L_{2}$ at $(3, -6)$,then the equation of the circle $C$ is:

$A$ line passing through the point $P(3, 11)$ intersects the circle $x^{2} + y^{2} = 9$ at points $A$ and $B$. Then $PA \cdot PB = . . . . .$

Let $y=x$ be the equation of a chord of the circle $C_{1}$ (in the closed half-plane $x \ge 0$) of diameter $10$ passing through the origin. Let $C_{2}$ be another circle described on the given chord as its diameter. If the equation of the chord of the circle $C_{2}$,which passes through the point $(2, 3)$ and is farthest from the center of $C_{2}$,is $x+ay+b=0$,then $a-b$ is equal to:

Circles $C_1$ and $C_2$,of radii $r$ and $R$ respectively,touch each other as shown in the figure. The line $l$,which is parallel to the line joining the centres of $C_1$ and $C_2$,is tangent to $C_1$ at $P$ and intersects $C_2$ at $A$ and $B$. If $R^2=2r^2$,then $\angle AOB$ equals

$A$ circle $C_1$ of radius $2$ touches both $x$-axis and $y$-axis. Another circle $C_2$ whose radius is greater than $2$ touches circle $C_1$ and both the axes. Then the radius of circle $C_2$ is
