  3. C 10
  4. D \(3 \sqrt{11}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5 \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given circle is \[ \begin{aligned} & x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y-12=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad(x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=25 \\ & \end{aligned} \] According to the question, \(\because \quad \triangle C A B\) is right angle triangle, so…
