Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(x^2+y^2+8 x-10 y+37=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equations of tangents \(\Rightarrow 3 x+4 y-18=0 \Rightarrow 3 x+4 y+2=0\) Since slope of tangents are equal. So tangents are parallel. And distance between two parallel lines is \(d=\frac{\left|c_2-c_1\right|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}=\frac{20}{5}=4 \Rightarrow\) Radius…
