The correct answer is: 5

Plotting the diagram of the given data we get,

Now to find the incentre we must calculate distance of sides so we have AC=10, BC=8 & AB=6

So, incetre will be ax1+bx2+cx3a+b+c,ay1+by2+cy3a+b+c

I=-32+20+1224,24+30-3024

I=0,1

Now we know that circumcentre of right angled triangle is given by midpoint of hypotenuse, so circumcentre C=-1,-1

Now distance between circumcentre and incentre is given by 12+22=5
