As we have learned

Selection formula -

$x= \frac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n}$

$y= \frac{my_{2}+ny_{1}}{m+n}$

- wherein

If P(x,y) divides the line joining A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) in ration $m:n$

General form of a circle -

$x^{2}+y^{2}+2gx+2fy+c= 0$

- wherein

centre = $\left ( -g,-f \right )$

radius = $\sqrt{g^{2}+f^{2}-c}$

$S= x^{2}+y^{2}+2gx+2fy+c=0$

equation of

$C_{1} is (x-5)^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=3^{2}$

$x^{2}+y^{2}-10x-4y+20 =0$

X- intercept = $2\sqrt (g^{2}-c)= 2\sqrt(25-20)$

$= 2\sqrt5$

Option 1)

$2\sqrt{5}$

This is correct

Option 2)

$3\sqrt2$

This is incorrect

Option 3)

$\sqrt5$

This is incorrect

Option 4)

$2\sqrt3$

This is incorrect
