Options:
  • A
    $x^2+y^2+2 x-2 y-47=0$
  • B
    $x^2+y^2+2 x-2 y-62=0$
  • C
    $x^2+y^2-2 x+2 y-62=0$

The correct answer is:
$x^2+y^2-2 x+2 y-47=0$
Point of intersection of $3 x-4 y-7=0$ and $2 x-3 y-5=0$ is $(1,-1)$, which is the centre of the circle and radius $=7$.
$\therefore$ Equation is $(x-1)^2+(y+1)^2=49 \Rightarrow x^2+y^2-2 x+2 y-47=0$
