If the radius of a circle $x^{2}+y^{2}-4 x+6 y-k=0$ is 5, then $\mathrm{k}=$

If the radius of a circle $x^{2}+y^{2}-4 x+6 y-k=0$ is 5, then $\mathrm{k}=$
  1. $-12$
  2. $-25$
  3. $25$
  4. $12$

Solution

Given equation of circle is $\begin{array}{l} x^{2}+y^{2}-4 x+6 y-k=0 \\ r \quad=\sqrt{4+9+k} \Rightarrow 5=\sqrt{13+k} \Rightarrow 13+k=25 \\ k=12 \end{array}$
