The area of the circle centred at (1,2) and passing through (4,6) , is
Options
- A5 sq unit
- B10 sq unit
- C25 sq unit
- DNone of these
Correct answer
C. 25 sq unit
Step-by-step solution
The equation of a circle centred at (1,2) and passing through (4,6) is array l (x-1)²+(y-2)²=(4-1)²+(6-2)² x²+y²-2 x-4 y+1+4=9+16 x²+y²-2 x-4 y-20=0 array Now, radius = (-1)²+(-2)²+20 = 1+4+20 =5 Area of circle = r²=25 sq unit
