\(x^2+y^2-4 x+10 y-4=0\) is

  1. A \(x^2+y^2-x-2 y+41=0\)
  2. B \(x^2+y^2+x-2 y-41=0\)
  3. C \(x^2+y^2+x-2 y-41=0\)
  4. D \(x^2+y^2-x+2 y-41=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x^2+y^2+x-2 y-41=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Center of circle \(x^2+y^2+6 x-14 y+5=0\) is \((-3,7)\) and centre of circle \(x^2+y^2-4 x+10 y-4=0\) is \((2,-5)\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Equation of the required circle is
\(\begin{aligned}
& (x+3)(x-2)+(y-7)(y+5)=0 \\
& \Rightarrow x^2+y^2+x-2 y-41=0
\end{aligned}\)
