If the area of the quadrilateral by the tangent from the origin to the circle

{x^2} + {y^2} + 6x - 10y + c = 0

and the pair of radii at the points of contact of these tangents to the circle is 8 sq units, then

c

is a root of the equation

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

{c^2} - 34c + 64 = 0

Option B (

{c^2} - 34c + 64 = 0

) is correct because the area of the quadrilateral formed by the tangents and radii is used to derive a quadratic equation in terms of

c

, and this option is the correct quadratic.
