If $\theta$ is the angle between the pair of tangents drawn from the point $(0,\frac{7}{2})$ to the circle $x^2 + y^2 - 14x + 16y + 88 = 0$, then $\tan \theta$ equals

In the xy-plane let $A = (- 2, 0), B = (2, 0)$ . Define the set S as the collection of all points C on the circle $x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 4$ such that the area of the triangle ABC is an integer. The number of points in the set S is

On a circular path of radius 6 m a boy starts from a point $A$ on the circumference and walks along a chord $AB$ of length 3 m. He then walks along another chord $BC$ of length 2 m to reach point $C$. The point $B$ lies on the minor arc $AC$. The distance between point $C$ from point $A$ is

Which of the following straight lines are both tangent to the circle $x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 6x + 4y - 12 = 0$?

The shortest distance from the point $(-4,3)$ to the circle $(x^2 + y^2 = 1)$ is __________.

A circle touches the y-axis at $(0, 4)$ and passes through the point $(-2, 0)$. Then the radius of the circle is

A circle of radius $13$ cm touches the adjacent sides AB and BC of a square ABCD at M and N, respectively. If AB = $18$ cm and the circle intersects the other two sides CD and DA at P and Q, respectively, then the area, in sq. cm, of triangle PMD is
