Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{14}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the circle passing through \((2,0),(0,1)\) and \((4,5)\) is
\(
3\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)-13 x-17 y+14=0
\)
This passes through \((0, c)\).
\(\therefore 3 c^{2}-17 c+14=0\)
\(\Rightarrow c=1, \frac{14}{3}\)
Since, \(c=1\) is already there, for point \((0,1)\). Therefore, we take \(c=\frac{14}{3}\).
