The equation of the circle passing through origin and touching the lines x + 2 = 0 and 3x + 4y + 50 = 0 is

(a)  x2 + y2 - 6x - 8y = 0

(b)  x+ y2 - 6x - 8y = 0

(c)  x+ y2 - 16x - 8y = 0

(a)   x+ y2 + 8x - 12y = 0

Correct option (a,c)

Explanation :

 The centre of the required circle lies on the line 2x + y - 10 = 0 which is an angular bisector of the lines x + 2 = 0 and 3x + 4y - 50 = 0. Let C(α, 10 -  2α) be the centre of the required circle. Hence

Therefore, the required centre of the circles are (3, 4) and (8, -6), respectively, and their radii are the distances of their centre from the origin which are 5 and 10, respectively. Hence, the circles are

(x - 3) + (y - 4) = 25 and (x - 8)  (y + 6)2  = 100

That is,

x2 + y2 - 6x - 8y = 0 and x2 + y2 - 16x + 12 = 0
