Question

There are three points given on a plane. How many circles can be drawn passing through all three points?

• A. 1
• B. 0
• C. Data inadequate
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Data inadequate

A unique circle can be drawn passing through three non-collinear points and no circle can be drawn through three collinear points. So to know the number of circles passing through any three given points, we need to first know if those points are collinear or non-collinear.
