Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((-4,0)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \((h, k)\) be centre of circle. Circle touches the \(y\)-axis \(\therefore\) Radius of circle \(=\mathrm{h}\) Equation of cicle \[ (\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{h})^2+(\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{k})^2=\mathrm{h}^2 . \] It passes through \((0,2)\)…
