The centre of a circle is \((2,-3)\) and the circumference is \(10 \pi\). Then its equation is
  1. \(x^2+y^2+4 x+6 y+12=0\)
  2. \(x^2+y^2-4 x+6 y+12=0\)
  3. \(x^2+y^2-4 x+6 y-12=0\)
  4. \(x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y-12=0\)

Solution

Let the radius of required circle is ' \(r\) ', so the circumference \(=2 \pi r=10 \pi\) (given) \(\Rightarrow \quad r=5\) and centre of required circle is \((2,-3)\) So, the equation of required circle is \(\begin{aligned} (x-2)^2+(y+3)^2 & =25 \\ \Rightarrow \quad x^2+y^2-4 x+6 y-12 & =0 \end{aligned}\) Hence, option (c) is correct.
