Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the given point be \(P(4,-3)\) and the given circle is \(x^2+y^2+4 x-10 y-7=0\) Centre of circle \(=\mathrm{C}(-2,5)\) \(\text { Radius }=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(5)^2+7}\) \(=\sqrt{4+25+7}=\sqrt{36}=6\) Maximum distance, \(a=C P+r\) Minimum distance, \(b=C P-r\) Sum of the maximum and…
