Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 16

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: x2+y2-6x+4y+12=0   ....1 ⇒x-32+y+22=1 It represents circle having centre 3,-2 and radius 1 unit. Let the slope of tangent be m, then equation of tangent is y+3=mx-1 ⇒mx-y-m-3=0   ....2 Perpendicular distance from centre of the…
