Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left(\frac{-16}{5}, \frac{53}{10}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of tangent to the curve \(y=x^2\) at \((2,4)\) is \(\frac{y+4}{2}=2 x\) \[ \Rightarrow \quad 4 x-y-4=0 \] Equation of circle touching at \((2,4)\) and tangent \(4 x-y-4=0\) is \[ (x-2)^2+(y-4)^2+\lambda(4 x-y-4)=0 \] Since, this circle is also passes through \((0,1)\)…
