A square is inscribed in the circle x2+y2−2x+4y+3=0, whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. One vertex of the square is.
A
(1+2,−2)
B
(1−2,−2)
C
(1,−2+2)
D
None of these
Answer
None of these
Explanation
Solution
Trick : Obviously the centre of the given circle is (1,−2). Since the sides of square are parallel to the axes, therefore, first three alternates cannot be vertices of square because in first two (a and b) y=−2 and in (3)x=1, which passes through centre (1,−2) but it is not possible. Hence answer (4) is correct.
