Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( (2,1), 3 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that,
\(x=2+3 \cos \theta \rightarrow(1)\)
\(y=1-3 \sin \theta \rightarrow(2)\)
From Eqs. \((1)\) and \((2)\), we have
\(\frac{x-2}{3}=\cos \theta\) and \(\frac{y-1}{-3}=\sin \theta\)
We know that, \(\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta=1\)
So, \(\left(\frac{x-2}{3}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{y-1}{-3}\right)=1\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{(x-2)^{2}}{9}+\frac{(y-1)^{2}}{9}=1\)
\(\Rightarrow(x-2)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=9\)
So, it is circle centre at point \((2,1)\) and radius is 3 .
