Circle PYQs - Last 5 Years

Let $P$ be the point on the parabola $y = x^2$ such that the slope of the tangent to the parabola at the point $P$ is $4$. Let $Q$ be the point in the first quadrant lying on the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 2$ such that the slope of the tangent to ...

Let the straight line $y=2 x$ touch a circle with center $(0, \alpha), \alpha>0$, and radius $r$ at a point $A_1$. Let $B_1$ be the point on the circle such that the line segment $A_1 B_1$ is a diameter of the circle. Let $\alpha+r=5+\sqrt{...

Let $C_1$ be the circle of radius 1 with center at the origin. Let $C_2$ be the circle of radius $r$ with center at the point $A=(4,1)$, where $1 < r < 3$. Two distinct common tangents $P Q$ and $S T$ of $C_1$ and $C_2$ are drawn. The tange...

Let $A_1, A_2, A_3, \ldots, A_8$ be the vertices of a regular octagon that lie on a circle of radius 2 . Let $P$ be a point on the circle and let $P A_i$ denote the distance between the points $P$ and $A_i$ for $i=1,2, \ldots, 8$. If $P$ va...

Let $G$ be a circle of radius $R>0$. Let $G_{1}, G_{2}, \ldots, G_{n}$ be $n$ circles of equal radius $r>0$. Suppose each of the $n$ circles $G_{1}, G_{2}, \ldots, G_{n}$ touches the circle $G$ externally. Also, for $i=1,2, \ldots, n-1$, th...

Let \(A B C\) be the triangle with \(A B=1, A C=3\) and \(\angle B A C=\frac{\pi}{2}\). If a circle of radius \(r>0\) touches the sides \(A B, A C\) and also touches internally the circumcircle of the triangle \(A B C\), then the value of $...
