Questions  

The lines 3x -4y + 4 = 0 and 6x - By- 7 = 0 are tangents to the same circle. Then, its radius, is

a
1/4
b
1/2
c
3/4
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Two given tangents are parallel to each other. Therefore, the distance between them is equal to the diameter of the circle.∴  Radius =12× Distance between 3x−4y+4=0 and 6x−8y−7=0⇒      Radius =124+729+16=34
