    The diameters of a circle are along\[2x+y-7=0\]and\[x+3y-11=0\]. Then, the equation of this circle, which also passes through (5, 7), is

    A) \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-4x-6y-16=0\]

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-4x-6y-20=0\]

    C) \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-4x-6y-12=0\]

    D) \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+4x+6y-12=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The intersection point of diameter lines is\[(2,\,\,3)\] which is the centre of circle. Now, radius\[=\sqrt{{{(5-2)}^{2}}+{{(7-3)}^{2}}}\]                       \[=\sqrt{9+16}=5\] \[\therefore \]Required equation of circle is                 \[{{(x-2)}^{2}}+{{(y-3)}^{2}}={{5}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-4x-6y-12=0\]
