Q18.Let the shortest distance from (a, 0), a > 0, to the parabola y2 = 4x be 4 . Then the equation of the circle passing through the point (a, 0) and the focus of the parabola, and having its centre on the axis of the parabola is : (1) x2 + y2 −10x + 9 = 0 (2) x2 + y2 −6x + 5 = 0 (3) x2 + y2 −4x + 3 = 0 (4) x2 + y2 −8x + 7 = 0

What This Question Tests
