  1. A x2+y26x25=0
  2. B x2+y26y25=0
  3. C x2+y2+6y16=0
  4. D x2+y2+6x16=0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) x2+y2+6y16=0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As, given the circle is passing through points 4, 0 and -4, 0, So, the centre must lie on y-axis. Let, the coordinate of the centre is 0, c, Hence, the radius, 0-42+c-02=5 ⇒ c=±3, ⇒the co ordinate of the centre is…
