Let the circle S : 36 x 2 + 36 y 2 - 108 x + 120 y + C = 0 be such that it neither intersects nor touches…
Solution
The given circle is
We know that the centre and radius of a circle is and respectively.
Thus, centre and radius

Now, this circle neither intersects nor touches the co-ordinate axes, hence, the radius of the circle is less than the absolute value of the co-ordinate with smaller value.
Now, point of intersection of and is which lies inside the circle
The point lies inside a circle if
From and we have
