The correct answer is: 100

Given: x-α2+y-β2=50

The given equation of circle represent centre as α,β and radius as 52 units.

Now, x+y=0 is tangent to the given circle at P.

We know that, radius is perpendicular to tangent at the point of tangency.

CPx+y=0 and CP=r

r=α×1+β×112+12

52=α+β2

50=α+β22

α+β2=100
