Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:For the parabola y = x², the tangent at (2,4) is given by (y+4)/2 = 2x, which simplifies to 4x - y - 4 = 0.
The equation of a circle touching the line 4x - y - 4 = 0 at the point (2,4) is
(x-2)² + (y-4)² + λ (4x-y-4) = 0.
It passes through (0,1).
∴ (0-2)² + (1-4)² + λ (4 (0) - 1 - 4) = 0
4 + 9 + λ (-5) = 0 ⇒ 13 = 5λ ⇒ λ = 13/5
∴ the circle is x² - 4x + 4 + y² - 8y + 16 + (13/5) (4x-y-4) = 0
x² + y² + (-4 + 52/5)x + (-8 - 13/5)y + (20 - 52/5) = 0
x² + y² + (32/5)x - (53/5)y + 48/5 = 0
∴ centre is (-g, -f) = (-16/5, 53/10).
