Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 / 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text {} \because \mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{y}^2-4 \mathrm{x}-8 \mathrm{y}+4=0 \\ & C \equiv \mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{y}^2\left(-\mathrm{g}_1-\mathrm{f}\right)=(2,4) \mathrm{r}=\sqrt{4+16-4}=4\end{aligned}\) Equation of pair of tangents is…
