Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x^2+y^2-6 x-8 y+9=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& \text { Radius }=\text { Distance of a point }(3,4) \text { form } \\
& 5 x+12 y-11=0 \\
& =\left|\frac{5(3)+12(4)-11}{\sqrt{25+144}}\right| \\
& =\left|\frac{15+48-11}{\sqrt{169}}\right| \\
& =\frac{52}{13} \\
& =4
\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Required equation is
\(\begin{aligned}
& (x-3)^2+(y-4)^2=(4)^2 \\
& x^2+y^2-6 x-8 y+9=0
\end{aligned}\)
