Equation of circle C: x2 + y2 = 17
Equation of circle D: x2 + y2 = 5
The question can now be rephrased as: number of integer pairs of (x,y) that satisfy above equations
For circle C, you have (4,1) and its 3 other variants by interchanging the -ve sign - (4,1),(4,-1),(-4,1),(-4,-1). Similar pattern of roots by interchanging x & y. - 4 more i.e. (1,4),(1,-4),(-1,4),(-1,-4)
For circle D, as well 8 roots obtained by interchanging signs & positions of (2,1)
Thus option C

Correct me if I am wrong but if I try to plot the Two CIRCLES ( Centred @ Origin & given their Radii's ) aren't they concentric and The Bigger Circle C will have more Integer Points Inside it than the Circle D. Or am i missing something here?
