Find the maximum distance of the point (K(10,7) ) from the circle (x^2+y^2-4 x-2 y-20=0 )
Options
- A25
- B10
- C15
- D5
Correct answer
C. 15
Step-by-step solution
Equation of given circle is ( aligned & x^2+y^2-4 x-2 y-20 & =0 & (x-2)^2+(y-1)^2 & =25 aligned ) Having centre (C(2,1) ) and radius (r=5 ) ( ) The maximum distance of the point (K(10,7) ) from the given circle is (C K+r ) ( aligned & = (10-2)^2+(7-1)^2 +5 & = 64+36 +5=10+5=15 unit aligned ) Hence, option (c) is correct.
