Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Given,

L1=4x-3y+K1=0; L2=4x-3y+K2=0

Here line L1 and L2 are parallel.

So,

Now point A-1,2 will satisfy L1 so, -4-3×2+K2=0  K2=10

Also point B3,-6 will satisfy L2=4x-3y+K2

So 4×3-3×-6+K2=0  K2=-30

Now distance between the parallel line will be the diameter

Diameter =K1-K242+32

=10+305=8

So radius 82=4

Now mid-point of AB will give us centre of circle by symmetry, so by midpoint formula in AB we get centre 1,-2,

Now equation of circle will be x-12+y+22=42
