Answer
B. 8
Explanation
$${{dy} \over {dx}} = {{ax - by + a} \over {bx + cy + a}}$$ $$ = bx\,dy + cy\,dy + a\,dy = ax\,dx - by\,dx + a\,dx$$ $$ = cy\,dy + a\,dy - ax\,dx - a\,dx + b(x\,dy + y\,dx) = 0$$ $$ = c\int {y\,dy + a\int {x\,dx - a\int {dx + b\int {d(xy) = 0} } } } $$ $$ = {{c{y^2}} \over 2} + ay - {{a{x^2}} \over 2} - ax + bxy = k$$ $$ = a{x^2} - c{y^2} + 2ax - 2ay - 2bxy = k$$ Above equation is circle $$\Rightarrow$$ a = $$-$$ c and b = 0 $$a{x^2} + a{y^2} + 2ax - 2ay = k$$ $$ \Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} + 2x - 2y = \lambda \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left[ {\lambda = {k \over a}} \right]$$ Passes through (2, 5) $$4 + 25 + 4 - 10 = \lambda \Rightarrow \lambda = 23$$ Circle $$ \equiv {x^2} + {y^2} + 2x - 2y - 23 = 0$$ Centre ($$-$$1, 1) $$r = \sqrt {{{( - 1)}^2} + {1^2} + 23} = 5$$ Shortest distance of $$(11,6) = \sqrt {{{12}^2} + {5^2}} - 5$$ $$ = 13 - 5$$ $$ = 8$$
