  1. A \(\sqrt{41}\) unit
  2. B \(3 \sqrt{5}\) unit
  3. C \(5 \sqrt{2}\) unit
  4. D \(2 \sqrt{5}\) unit
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{41}\) unit

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equation of circle is \(x^{2}+y^{2}+4 x+6 y-12=0\) Centre \(C(-2,-3)\) and radius \(=\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(-3)^{2}+12}=5\) \[ x^{2}+y^{2}+4 x+6 y-12=0 \] \[ \begin{aligned} C_{1} C_{2} &=\sqrt{\left(2+{2})^{2}+(-3+3)^{2}\right.} \\ &=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(0)^{2}}=4 \end{aligned} \]…
