Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the equation of circle is \[ x^{2}+y^{2}+2 g x+2 f y+c=0 \] When, circle (i) passes through the onigin Then, \(\quad c=0\) When, circle (i) passes through the point (2,6). Then \(4+36+4 g+12 f+0=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 4 g+12 f+40=0\) \(\Rightarrow g+3 f=-10\) When, circle…
