As we learnt in

Equation of a circle -

$\left ( x-h \right )^{2}+\left ( y-k \right )^{2}= r^{2}$

- wherein

Circle with centre $\left ( h,k \right )$ and radius $r$.

On substituting the  value of  (x, y) as (1, 2), we get

$(1-h)^{2}+(2-k)^{2}=r^{2}$            ....................(1)

On substituting the  value of  (x, y) as (5, 2), we get

$(5-h)^{2}+(2-k)^{2}=r^{2}$        .........................(2)

On substituting the  value of  (x, y) as (5, -2), we get

$(5-h)^{2}+(-2-k)^{2}=r^{2}$       .......................(3)

On subtracting  Eq. (1) - (2), we get

h = 3

On subtacting Eq. (2) - Eq. (3), we get

k = 0
