  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(6\)
  3. C \(20\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{20}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{20}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, diameters of circle are \[ x+y=6 \text { and } x+2 y=4 \] On solving above equations, we get \[ x=8 \text { and } y=-2 \] \(\therefore\) Centre of circle is \((8,-2)\). Since, circle passes through \((6,2)\).…
