Solution

The correct option is C

Given circle is,

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

and external point is (2, 2) we have to use the formula

$S S_{1} = T^{2}$

$[x^{2} + y^{2} - 4 x + 4 y] [4 + 4 - 8 + 8] = 2 x + 2 y - 2 (x + 2) + 2 (y + 2)$

$8. [x^{2} + y^{2} - 4 x + 4 y] = 2 y + 2 y - 4 + 4$

$4. [x^{2} + y^{2} - 4 x + 4 y] = 4 y$

$4 x^{2} + 4 y^{2} - 16 x + 12 y = 0$
