The distance between two points $P(6,0)&Q(0,8)$, which are situated at the two opposite ends of the circle C , will be the diameter of the circle.
So, the length of the diameter PQ is $√(6−0)2+(0−8)2=√36+64=√100=10$
$Distancebetweenpoints $(x1,y1)&(x2,y2)$ is $\left.\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$
Thus, the radius of the circle is $12($Diameter$)=12×10=5$
Hence the answer is (C).
