Question

The circle x2 + y2 + 2λx = 0, λ element of R touches the parabola y2 = 4x externally, then -

  1. λ > 0    
  2. λ < 0    
  3. λ > 1    
  4. None of these    

The correct answer is: λ > 0


    Given equations x2 + y2 + 2λx = 0,
    y2 = 4x centre of circle is (–λ, 0) and radius is square root of lambda to the power of 2 end exponent plus 0 end root= λ.
    Clearly the circle will touch the parabola exterenally if centre of circle lies on –ve x axisi.e. λ > 0.
