  1. A \(x^2+y^2-3 x+2 y-2=0\)
  2. B \(x^2+y^2-6 x-2 y+1=0\)
  3. C \(x^2+y^2+6 x-2 y-1=0\)
  4. D \(x^2+y^2-9 x-3 y+2=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x^2+y^2-6 x-2 y+1=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x^2-3 x y-3 x+9 y=0\) \(\Rightarrow(x-3)(x-3 y)=0 \Rightarrow x=3, y=1\) Centre of required circle \(=(3,1)\) \(r_1+r_2=4 \Rightarrow r_1=1 \Rightarrow r_2=3\) Equation of the required line is…
