The correct answer is: 8

Equation of circle is x2+y2-2x+4y-2=0

Given Px1,y12,3 & QK,-2 are conjugate with respect to given circle.

Equation of polar of P is xx1+yy1-2x+x12+4y+32-2=0

2x+3y-1x+2+2y+3-2=0

2x+3y-x-2+2y+6-2=0

x+5y+2=0

P2,3 & QK,-2 are conjugate, so polar of point P passes through Q.

K-10+2=0

K=8
