MCQ
The equation x2 + y2 - 2x + 4y + 5 = 0 represents:
  • A
    A point
  • B
    A pair of straight lines
  • C
    A circle of non zero radius
  • D
    None of these

Answer

  1. A point

Solution:

x2 + y2 - 2x + 4y + 5 = 0

(x - 1)2 + (y + 2)2 -5 + 5 = 0

⇒ (x - 1)2 + (y + 2)2 = 0

Since, radius is 0, its a point

Alternative method:

Here, a = b = 1

$\text{r}=\sqrt{1+4-5=0}$

a circle of radius 0. So, its a point.
