Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( x^{2}+y^{2}+2 a x+2 b y+2 b^{2}=0 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, center is \((-a,-b)\) and radius is \(\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}\)
Thus, equation of circle is
\((x+a)^{2}+(y+b)^{2}=\left(\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}\right)^{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}+2 a x+2 b y+2 b^{2}=0\)
