Solution

The correct option is A 9(x2+y2)+24x+3y-16=0
Circle touches x-axis, y=0 and line 4x3y+4=0
Equation of circle can be written as x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0
Tangent to the circle (x1,y1) can be written as
xx1+yy1+g(x+x1)+f(y+y1)+c=0y=0x3y+4=0y=x9x=0,y=9x=9y=0(9,0)9x+g(x+a)+fy+c=09x+gx+gq+fy+c=0x(9+g)+fy+c+gq=09+g=4f=3xy9=0g+f9=0gq=fgq=3
Solving them, we will get g=12
Equation of circle
9(x2+y2)+24x+3y16=0
