Circle
Circle
Circle
If the centre of circle is joined with centre of the circle , further centre of circle is joined with centre of the circle O , centre of circle O is joined with the centre of circle P and lastly, centre of circle is joined with centre of circle , then these lines form the sides of a :
  1. (A)Square✓ Correct
  2. (B)Rhombus
  3. (C)Rectangle
  4. (D)Parallelogram

Answer: (A)

Solution

Completing squares in each equation gives the centres , , and . The joins taken in that order have lengths

and the two diagonals and both measure . A quadrilateral with four equal sides and equal diagonals is a square.
