Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(\frac{-16}{5}, \frac{53}{10}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let equation of circle is \(x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0\) Where centre is \((-\mathrm{g},-\mathrm{f})\) Since circle passes through \((0,1)\) \[ \Rightarrow 0+1+0+2 \mathrm{f}+\mathrm{c}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=2 \mathrm{f}-1 \] \((2,4)\) is also on the circle.…
