Answer:

Correct Answer: 4. (c)

Solution:

  1. Given equation of circle is x2+y26x+8y103=0, which can be written as (x3)2+(y+4)2=128=(82)2

Centre =(3,4) and radius =82

Now, according to given information, we have the following figure.

For the coordinates of A and C.

Consider, x312=y+412=±82

[using distance (parametric) form of line,

xx1cosθ=yy1sinθ=r]

x=3±8,y=4±8

A(5,12) and C(11,4)

Similarly, for the coordinates of B and D, consider

x312=y+412=±82[ in this case, θ=135x=38,y=4±8B(11,12) and D(5,4)OB=121+144=265OC=121+16=137OD=25+16=41
