The equation of the circle which passes through the point (4,5)(4,5) and its centre at (2,2)(2,2) is

Solution

Correct Option: 2

The equation of a circle: (xa)2+(yb)2=r2(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}=r^{2}

With centre of (a,b)(a, b) and a radius of rr.

Only option (2) matches this, hence you can mark the answer right here.

However, here's the rest of the solution:

According to the question, x=4,y=5x=4,y=5

Go by the options, look at Option 2 and:

(42)2+(52)2=22+32=4+9=13=RHS(4-2)^2+(5-2)^2=2^2+3^2=4+9=13 =RHS

Hence it's the answer.
