Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 15

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of given circle is \(\begin{aligned} & x^2+y^2-4 x-2 y-20 & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & (x-2)^2+(y-1)^2 & =25 \end{aligned}\) Having centre \(C(2,1)\) and radius \(r=5\) \(\therefore\) The maximum distance of the point \(K(10,7)\) from the given circle is \(C K+r\)…
