Solution

The correct options are
A (6,9)
B (8,9)
Since, the square is inscribed in a circle, the vertices of the square will lie on the circle.
Hence, the points satisfying the equation of circle can be the coordinates of the square.
Points (6,9) and (8,9) can be the coordinates of the square.
The equation of the circle is
x2+y22x+4y93=0
Coordinates of the centre are (1,2)
Radius =72
When a square is inscribed in a circle, the diameter of the circle is equal to the length of the diagonal of the square.
Diameter =142
Side length=Distance between the points (6,9) and (8,9) is 14 units. The distance of the sides from the centre of the circle will be 7 units. The sides of the square are parallel to the coordinate axis. Hence,the equation of the sides will be x=6, x=8, y=9 and y=5
Hence, options 'A' and 'C' are correct.
