$A$ variable circle is drawn passing through the origin $O$. It intersects the $X$ and $Y$ axes at points $A$ and $B$ respectively,such that $OA + 2OB = K$ (a non-zero constant). The circle always passes through a fixed point $P$ other than the origin. The point $P$ lies on -

  • A
    the $x$-axis
  • B
    the line $y = 2x$
  • C
    the line $x = 2y$
  • D
    the $y$-axis

$A$ circle touches the $x$-axis and also touches the circle with centre at $(0, 3)$ and radius $2$. The locus of the centre of the circle is

If a circle passes through the point $(a, b)$ and cuts the circle $x^2 + y^2 = K^2$ orthogonally,then the equation of the locus of its centre is:

Let $RS$ be the diameter of the circle $x^2+y^2=1$,where $S$ is the point $(1,0)$. Let $P$ be a variable point (other than $R$ and $S$) on the circle and tangents to the circle at $S$ and $P$ meet at the point $Q$. The normal to the circle at $P$ intersects a line drawn through $Q$ parallel to $RS$ at point $E$. Then the locus of $E$ passes through the point$(s)$:
$(A)$ $\left(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$ $(B)$ $\left(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$ $(C)$ $\left(\frac{1}{3},-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$ $(D)$ $\left(\frac{1}{4},-\frac{1}{2}\right)$

If the lengths of the tangents drawn from $P$ to the circles $x^2+y^2-2x+4y-20=0$ and $x^2+y^2-2x-8y+1=0$ are in the ratio $2:1$,then the locus of $P$ is

The locus of the centre of a variable circle which cuts the circles $x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y - 1 = 0$ and $x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 2y - 1 = 0$ orthogonally is:
