Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) y2-4y-21=0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that: x2+y2-6x-4y-12=0 Centre of the circle: -g,-f=3,2 Radius of the circle: r=g2+f2-c=9+4+12=5 As we know that diameter is always perpendicular to the tangent. Hence, at the ends of the diameter perpendicular to x-axis, tangents will be parallel to x-axis. So, tangents at…
