MCQ
The equation of the circle whose diameters have the end points $(a, 0), (0, b)$ is given by
  • ${x^2} + {y^2} - ax - by = 0$
  • B
    ${x^2} + {y^2} + ax - by = 0$
  • C
    ${x^2} + {y^2} - ax + by = 0$
  • D
    ${x^2} + {y^2} + ax + by = 0$

Answer

Correct option: A.
${x^2} + {y^2} - ax - by = 0$
a
(a) Required equation is $(x - a)x + (y - b)y = 0$

or ${x^2} - ax + {y^2} - by = 0$.
