If the tangent at the point on the circle `x^2+y^2+6x +6y=2` meets the straight ine `5x -2y+6 =0` at a point Q on the y- axis then the length of PQ isA. 4B. `2sqrt(5)`C. 5D. `3 sqrt(5)`

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
The line `5x-2y+6=0` is interested by a tangent at P to the circle `x^(2)+y^(2)+6x+6y-2=0` on the y-axis at `Q (0,3)`.
In other words, the tangent passes through (0,3). Therefore, `PQ=` Length of tangent to circle from (0,3)
`sqrt(0+9++18-2)`
`=sqrt(25)=5`
