If one of the diameters of the circle \(x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-6 y+6=0\) is a chord of another circle \('C'\), whose center is at \((2,1),\) then its radius is..........

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x^{2}+y^{2}+2 x-6 y+6=0\) center \((1,3)\) radius \(=2\) distance between \((1,3)\) and \((2,1)\) is \(\sqrt{5}\) \(\therefore(\sqrt{5})^{2}+(2)^{2}=r^{2}\) \(\Rightarrow r =3\)
