Two equal circles of largest radii have ...

Two equal circles of largest radii have following property:
(i) They intersect each other orthogonally,
(ii) They touch both the curves `4(y+2) = x^(2)` and `4(2-y) =x^(2)` in the region `x in [-2 sqrt(2),2sqrt(2)]`. Then radius of this circle is

A

`sqrt(2)`

B

`sqrt(3)`

C

`(1)/(sqrt(3))`

D

`(3)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A


Let the radius of circle is r.
From geometry, `P -= (rsqrt(2),(r )/(sqrt(2)))`.
Now, this point lies on the curve `4(2-y) =x^(2)`
`rArr 4(2-(r )/(sqrt(2))) = (rsqrt(2))^(2)`
`rArr r = sqrt(2)`
