    The equation of the circle whose center is (1,2) and which passes through the point (4,6)

    A)  \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2x-4y-20=0\]                    

    B)  \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x-4y-20=0\]

    C)  \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2x+4y-20=0\]                   

    D)  \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x-2y-20=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Equation of circle be \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0\] Centre of the circle \[\equiv \left( 1,2 \right)\equiv \left( -g,-f \right)\] \[\therefore {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x-4y+c=0\]           ??.(1)                 This circle (1), passes through the point \[\left( 4,6 \right)\] Then \[{{\left( 4 \right)}^{2}}+{{6}^{2}}+2\times 4+4\times 6+c=0\] \[16+36-8-24+c=0\] \[52-32+c=0\] \[c=-20\] Hence, equation of the circle be \[{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}-2x-4y+20=0\] i.e. option [b] is correct.
