Question

A B C D is a square with side 16 units and A is the origin. If the equation of the circle circumscribing the square A B C D is x 2 + y 2 = 4 k ( x + y ) , then k =, 2, 4, 16, 64

Clearly, A C is the diameter. So, equation of circle in diameter form is x - 0 x - 16 + y - 0 y - 16 = 0 ⇒ x 2 - 16 x + y 2 - 16 y = 0 ⇒ x 2 + y 2 = 16 x + y Comparing with the given equation, we get k = 4 .
