Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 80

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the circle is \(x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + 25 = 0\). The centre of the circle is \((-g, -f)\). Since it lies in the first quadrant, \(-g > 0\) and \(-f > 0\), which implies \(g < 0\) and \(f < 0\). The centre lies on the line \(2x - y = 4\), so:…
