If a circle passes through points $(4,0)$ and $(0,2)$ and its centre lies on $\mathrm{Y}$-axis. If the radius of the circle is $r$, then the value of $r^2-r+1$ is
  1. $25$
  2. $21$
  3. $20$
  4. $10$

Solution

Let $(0, y)$ be the centre of the circle. $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \sqrt{(0-4)^2+(y-0)^2}=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(y-2)^2} \\ & \therefore \quad 16+y^2=(y-2)^2 \\ & \therefore \quad 16+y^2=y^2-4 y+4 \\ & \begin{aligned} \therefore & y=-3 \\ \therefore & \text { centre of the circle is }(0,-3) . \\ \therefore & \text { Radius of the circle }=\mathrm{r}=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(-3-2)^2} \\ & =5 \text { units } \\ \therefore & \mathrm{r}^2-\mathrm{r}+1=25-5+1=21 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
