Let the equation of the circle,which touches the $x$-axis at the point $(a, 0), a > 0$ and cuts off an intercept of length $b$ on the $y$-axis,be $x^2 + y^2 - \alpha x + \beta y + \gamma = 0$. If the circle lies below the $x$-axis,then the ordered pair $(2a, b^2)$ is equal to:

  • A
    $(\alpha, \beta^2 + 4\gamma)$
  • B
    $(\gamma, \beta^2 - 4\alpha)$
  • C
    $(\gamma, \beta^2 + 4\alpha)$
  • D
    $(\alpha, \beta^2 - 4\gamma)$

Let $C$ be the circle $x^2+y^2=1$ in the $XY$-plane. For each $t \geq 0$,let $L_t$ be the line passing through $(0,1)$ and $(t, 0)$. Note that $L_t$ intersects $C$ in two points,one of which is $(0,1)$. Let $Q_t$ be the other point. As $t$ varies between $1$ and $1+\sqrt{2}$,the collection of points $Q_t$ sweeps out an arc on $C$. The angle subtended by this arc at $(0,0)$ is
