    The equation of the circle with centre at (1, ?2) and passing through the centre of the given circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2y-3=0\], is

    A)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x+4y+3=0\]

    B)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x+4y-3=0\]

    C)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2x-4y-3=0\]

    D)            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2x-4y+3=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               According to the question, the required circle passes through (0,?1). Therefore, the radius is the distance between the points (0, ?1) and (1, ?2) i.e., \[\sqrt{2}\].                    Hence the equation is \[{{(x-1)}^{2}}+{{(y+2)}^{2}}={{(\sqrt{2})}^{2}}\]                    \[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x+4y+3=0\]                    Trick : Since this is the only circle passing through      (0, ?1).
