A square is inscribed in the circle $x^2+y^2-2 x+4 y-93=0$ with its sides parallel to the co-ordinate axes. Then which among the following can be one of the vertices of the square?
  1. $(5,8)$
  2. $(8,5)$
  3. $(8,-5)$
  4. $(-8,5)$

Solution

Equation of given circle is $ \begin{gathered} x^2+y^2-2 x+4 y-93=0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2=98 \end{gathered} $ The vertex of the square inscribed in the circle whoses sides are parallel to the coordinate axes is $ \begin{aligned} &\left(1 \pm \sqrt{98} \cos \frac{\pi}{4},-2 \pm \sqrt{98} \sin \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ &=(1 \pm 7,-2 \pm 7) \\ &=(8,5),(8,-9),(-6,5),(-6,-9) \end{aligned} $
