Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \sqrt{7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of circle \[ \begin{array}{ll} & x^2+y^2-8 x-2 y-8=0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad & g=-4, f=-1, c=-8 \end{array} \] Centre \((4,1)\) and radius, \(r=\sqrt{16+1+8}=5\) Distance from centre \((4,1)\) to the line…
