The centre of the circle that passes through the point $(0,1)$ and touches the curve $y=x^2$ at $(2,4)$ is

The centre of the circle that passes through the point $(0,1)$ and touches the curve $y=x^2$ at $(2,4)$ is
  1. $\left(\frac{-16}{5}, \frac{27}{10}\right)$
  2. $\left(\frac{-16}{7}, \frac{53}{10}\right)$
  3. $\left(\frac{-16}{5}, \frac{53}{10}\right)$
  4. $\left(\frac{-16}{5}, \frac{-53}{10}\right)$

Solution

Let equation of circle is $x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0$ Where centre is $(-\mathrm{g},-\mathrm{f})$ Since circle passes through $(0,1)$ $ \Rightarrow 0+1+0+2 \mathrm{f}+\mathrm{c}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=2 \mathrm{f}-1 $ $(2,4)$ is also on the circle. $ \begin{aligned} & \therefore 4+16+4 \mathrm{~g}+8 \mathrm{f}-2 \mathrm{f}-1=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 4 \mathrm{~g}+6 \mathrm{f}-19=0 \end{aligned} $ Only option (c) satisfy $4 g+6 f-19=0$
