Equation of the circle passing through the point \( \Large \left(3,\ 4\right) \) and concentric with the circle \( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}-2x-4y+1=0 \) is


A) \( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}-2x-4y=0 \)

B) \( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}-2x-4y+3=0 \)

C) \( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}-2x-4y-3=0 \)

D) none of the above

Correct Answer:
C) \( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}-2x-4y-3=0 \)

Description for Correct answer:

Let the equation of the concentric circle \( \Large b\ x^{2}+y^{2}-2x-4y+n=0 \) it passes through \( \Large \left(3,\ 4\right) \)

\( \Large 3^{2}+4^{2}-2 \left(3\right)-4 \left(4\right)+n=0 \)

n = -3

Thus the equation of concentric circle is

\( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}-2x-4y-3=0 \)
