The correct answer is: $(x-5)^2+(y-3)^2=10^2$
Since line divides the circumference of circle in ratio $1: 2$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \angle \mathrm{AOB}=120^{\circ} \\
& \mathrm{OC}=\frac{4(5)+3(3-4)}{\sqrt{16+9}}=\frac{20+9-4}{\sqrt{25}}=5 \\
& \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{\mathrm{OC}}{\mathrm{OA}}=\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{\mathrm{OA}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{OA}=10
\end{aligned}
$$
$\therefore$ Equation of circle is
$$
(x-5)^2+(y-3)^2=(10)^2
$$
