Answer: (b)
Solution: The common components of photochemical smog are ozone, nitric oxide, acrolein,
formaldehyde and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN). Photochemical smog causes serious health
problems. Both ozone and PAN act as powerful eye irritants. Ozone and nitric oxide irritate
the nose and throat and their high concentration causes headache, chest pain, dryness of the
throat, cough and difficulty in breathing.

Question: A circle of equation x 2 + y 2 + ax + by + c =0 passes through (0, 6) and touches

y = x 2 at (2, 4). Find a + c .
Answer: 16.00
Solution:
Given, x 2 + y 2 + ax + by + c =0 passes through (0, 6)
Then, 0 + 36 + 0 + 6b + c =0
6b + c =−36 ... (1)
Touches y = x 2 at ( 2, 4 )
Thus, passes through ( 2, 4 ) and also tangent at ( 2, 4 ) is having same slope.
∴ 4 + 16 + 2a + 4b + c =0
2a + 4b + c =−20 .... ( 2 )
