Question

Given three collinear points, then the number of circles which can be drawn through three points is :

• A. Zero
• B. One
• C. Two
• D. Infinite

Answer 1

The correct option is A Zero

If points lie on the same line, then they are called collinear points

No circle can be drawn lying on 3 collinear points.

In the figure A ,B ,C are the collinear points.

We cannot draw a single circle through three non collinear points.

For us too draw a circle through three points, the three points have to be Collinear.

so, option A will be the answer.
