Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{8}{5} \sqrt{21}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Circle \(x^2+y^2+2 x+4 y-20=0\) Line \(3 x+4 y-6=0\) Put \(y=\frac{6-3 x}{4}\) from line into circle, we have \[ x^2+\left(\frac{6-3 x}{4}\right)^2+2 x+4\left(\frac{6-3 x}{4}\right)-20=0 \]…
