The circle passing through the point (-1,0) and touching the y-axis at (0,2) also passes through the point:A. `( -3//2,0)`B. `(- 5//2,2)`C. `(-3//2,5//2)`D. `(-4,0)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Equation of circle touching the y-axis at (0,2) is
`(x-0)^(2)+(y-2)^(2)+lambdax =0`
It passes through `(-1,0)` . Therefore,
`1+4-lambda =0` or `lambda =5`
`:. `Equation of circle is
`x^(2)+y^(2)+5x-4y+4=0`
Putting `y=0` , we get ` x= -1,-4`
Therefore, the circle passes through `(-4,0)`
