Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4 x^2+4 y^2-40 x-16 y+67=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The centre of the circle \(x^2+y^2-3 x-4 y-1=0\) is \(C(3 / 2,2)\), now as it is given that the required circle passes through the point \(C(3 / 2,2)\) and having centre \((5,2)\), so radius of required circle is \(r=\sqrt{\left(5-\frac{3}{2}\right)^2+(2-2)^2}=\frac{7}{2}\)…
