If a circle \(C\) passing through the point \((4, 0)\) touches the circle \(x^2 + y^2 + 4x -6y = 12\) externally at the point \((1, -1)\), then the radius of \(C\) is

  1. A \(2\sqrt 5 \)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(\sqrt {57} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tangent at \(\left( {1, - 1} \right)\) is \(x\left( 1 \right) + y\left( { - 1} \right) + 2\left( {x + 1} \right) - 3\left( {y - 1} \right) - 12 = 0\) \( = 3x - 4y = 7\) required circle is…
