The correct answer is: $21$
Let $(0, y)$ be the centre of the circle.
$\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \sqrt{(0-4)^2+(y-0)^2}=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(y-2)^2} \\
& \therefore \quad 16+y^2=(y-2)^2 \\
& \therefore \quad 16+y^2=y^2-4 y+4 \\
& \begin{aligned}
\therefore & y=-3 \\
\therefore & \text { centre of the circle is }(0,-3) . \\
\therefore & \text { Radius of the circle }=\mathrm{r}=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(-3-2)^2} \\
& =5 \text { units } \\
\therefore & \mathrm{r}^2-\mathrm{r}+1=25-5+1=21
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}$
