Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the circle is \(x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 7y + 12 = 0\). To find the intercept on the Y-axis, set \(x = 0\) in the equation of the circle. \(0^2 + y^2 + 4(0) - 7y + 12 = 0\) \(y^2 - 7y + 12 = 0\) Factoring the quadratic equation, we get \((y - 3)(y - 4) = 0\). The roots…
