If the points `(lambda, -lambda)` lies inside the circle `x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 2y -8=0`, then find the range of `lambda`.A. (-1, 4)B. `(-oo, -1)`C. `(4, oo)`D. [-1, 4]

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Since the point (a, -a) lies inside the circle `x^(2)+y^(2)-4x+2y-8=0`.
`:. a^(2)+a^(2)-4a-2a-8 lt 0`
`rArr 2a^(2)-6a-8 lt 0`
`rArr a^(2)-3a-4 lt0`
`rArr (a-4) (a+1) lt0 rArr -1 lt a lt 4 rArr a in (-1, 4)`
