The number of rational point (S) (a point \( \Large \left(a,\ b \right) \) is called rational, if a and b both are rational number) on the circumference of a circle having centre \( \Large \left( \pi ,\ e\right) \) is:
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
If there are more than one rational point on the circumference of the circle
\( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}-2 \pi x - 2ey+c = 0 \)
[as \( \Large \left( \pi ,\ e\right) \) is the centre] then e will be a rational multiple of \( \Large \pi \), which is not possible. Thus the number of rational points on the circumference of the circle is at most one.
