The centre of the given circle is (1,-2). Since the sides of the square inscribed in the circle are parallel to the coordinate axes, so the x coordinate of any vertex cannot be equal to 1 and its y coordinate cannot be equal to -2 .

Hence none of the points given in (a),(b) or (c) can be the vertex of the square. Thus the correct answer is (d).

\therefore \quad (d)
