Answer:

Correct Answer: 24.(a)

Solution:

Formula:

Standard Forms of a Circle

  1. Given, circle is inscribed in square formed by the lines $x^{2}-8 x+12=0$ and $y^{2}-14 y+45=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad x=6 \quad$ and $x=2, y=5$ and $y=9$

which could be plotted as

where, $A B C D$ clearly forms a square.

$\therefore$ Centre of inscribed circle

$=$ Point of intersection of diagonals

$=$ Mid-point of $A C$ or $B D$

$ =(\frac{2+6}{2}), (\frac{5+9}{2})=(4,7) $

$\Rightarrow$ Centre of inscribed circle is $(4,7)$.
