Suppose the tangents drawn to the circle \(x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y-11=0\) from \(P(1,8)\) touch the circle at \(A\) and \(B\). Then the centre of the circle passing through \(P\), \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) is

  1. A \((2,5)\)
  2. B \((-2,-5)\)
  3. C \((-2,5)\)
  4. D \((2,-5)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((2,5)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of circle is \(x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y-11=0\) \[ \therefore \text { centre }=(3,2) \] A circle passing through \(\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) then \(\mathrm{PC}\) is a diameter \(\therefore\) centre of required circle is…
