Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y+9=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Centre of the circle
\(x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y-12=0 \text { is } \mathrm{C}(3,2)\)
Since it touches X-axis, \(\mathrm{r}=2\)
Hence, the required equation of the circle is
\(\begin{aligned}
& (x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=2^2 \\
& \Rightarrow x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y+9=0
\end{aligned}\)
