  1. A \(0^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(45^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(90^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(60^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(90^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of circle is \[ \begin{aligned} x^2+y^2-14 x+2 y+25 & =0 \\ \Rightarrow\left(x^2-14 x+49\right)+\left(y^2+2 y+1\right)-49-1+25 & =0 \\ (x-7)^2+(y+1)^2 & =25=5^2 \end{aligned} \] \(\Rightarrow \quad\) Radius of circle \(=5\) Centre of circle \(=(7,-1)\) Distance…
