The radius to this circle is 4, as the circle passes through line x=4 and x=-4.
The origin of this circle must be (6,0) because the circle with radius 4 will definitely pass through (2,0)
On the other side of the x-axis, the circle passes through (10,0)
Hence the value of x is 10(Option D)

Since the Diameter of the circle is 8

Distance between (2,0) & (x,0) should be 8 (Line cuts the circle into two equal parts)
(x-2) = 8

x=10
Hence D

From the figure, if we move along the y - axis, we find that the radius of the circle is 4

Now moving along the x - axis with radius = 4,
The centre is (2+4,0) = (6,0)
and the coordinate of the point where x - axis cuts circle on other side is (10,0)

So x = 10

Looking at the y-axis, we see that the diameter of the circle is 4 - (-4) = 8.

Looking at the x-axis, we see that the left edge of the circle’s diameter is at x = 2. The line must extend to the right 8 more units to yield a diameter of 8, and so the value of x will be 10 at the rightmost edge of the circle.

Answer: D

imo D
radius of the circle=4 dia=8
so 2+8=10
the coordinate will be 10

Radius is 4. Diameter is 4*2=8.
Thus x coordinate would be 2+8=10.

Option D.

The radius is of 4 units. (look at the y-axis to find this out)

We are at (2,0) so the center is (6,0). Move one radius furhter away from it then it will be (10,0)

Hence D.

Solution



Approach and Working out

    • 2 and x are the ends of the diameter.
      o Diameter of the circle is 8 units as shown in the diagram.
    • Hence, x-2 is also 8
      o Thus, x = 10
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Correct Answer: Option D
