The locus of the midpoints of the chords of the circle $x^2 + y^2 - ax - by = 0$ which subtend a right angle at $\left( \frac{a}{2}, \frac{b}{2} \right)$ is:

Let $AB$ be a chord of the circle $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$ subtending a right angle at the centre. Then the locus of the centroid of the $\Delta PAB$ as $P$ moves on the circle is

If any tangent drawn to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1$ touches one of the circles $x^2 + y^2 = \alpha^2$,then the range of $\alpha$ is

Find the equation of the pair of tangents drawn from the origin to the circle $x^2 + y^2 + 20(x + y) + 20 = 0$.

The centre$(s)$ of the circle$(s)$ passing through the points $(0, 0)$ and $(1, 0)$ and touching the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 9$ is/are:

Let $M = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} : x^2 + y^2 \leq r^2\}$,where $r > 0$. Consider the geometric progression $a_n = \frac{1}{2^{n-1}}$,$n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$.
