Correct answer: B

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Analyze the given equation of the circle. The equation of the given circle is S:x2+y2−6x−4y−11=0S: {x^2} + {y^2} - 6x - 4y - 11 = 0S:x2+y2−6x−4y−11=0. To find the center and radius, we compare it with the general equation of a circle, x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0{x^2} + {y^2} + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0. We have: 2g=−6  ⟹  g=−32g = -6 \implies g = -32g=−6⟹g=−3 2f=−4  ⟹  f=−22f = -4 \implies f = -22f=−4⟹f=−2 c=−11c = -11c=−11 The center of the circle, CCC, is given by (−g,−f)(-g, -f)(−g,−f). So, C=(3,2)C = (3, 2)C=(3,2).

  2. Understand the geometry of the problem. Let P(1,8)P(1, 8)P(1,8) be the external point from which tangents are drawn to the circle. Let the tangents from PPP touch the circle at points AAA and BBB. The line segments CACACA and CBCBCB are the radii of the circle at the points of contact. We know that the radius to the point of tangency is perpendicular to the tangent line at that point. Therefore, CA⊥PACA \perp PACA⊥PA and CB⊥PBCB \perp PBCB⊥PB. This means ∠CAP=90∘\angle CAP = 90^\circ∠CAP=90∘ and ∠CBP=90∘\angle CBP = 90^\circ∠CBP=90∘.

  3. Identify the properties of the quadrilateral PACB. Consider the quadrilateral formed by the points P,A,C,P, A, C,P,A,C, and BBB. The sum of the opposite angles ∠CAP\angle CAP∠CAP and ∠CBP\angle CBP∠CBP is: ∠CAP+∠CBP=90∘+90∘=180∘\angle CAP + \angle CBP = 90^\circ + 90^\circ = 180^\circ∠CAP+∠CBP=90∘+90∘=180∘. A quadrilateral is cyclic if the sum of a pair of opposite angles is 180∘180^\circ180∘. Thus, the quadrilateral PACBPACBPACB is cyclic.

  4. Determine the circumcircle of triangle PAB. The circumcircle of the triangle PABPABPAB is the circle that passes through the vertices P,A,P, A,P,A, and BBB. Since the points P,A,C,P, A, C,P,A,C, and BBB lie on the same circle (the circumcircle of quadrilateral PACBPACBPACB), the circumcircle of triangle PABPABPAB is the same as the circumcircle of quadrilateral PACBPACBPACB.

  5. Find the equation of the circumcircle. In the cyclic quadrilateral PACBPACBPACB, the angles ∠PAC\angle PAC∠PAC and ∠PBC\angle PBC∠PBC are 90∘90^\circ90∘. These are angles in a semicircle. This implies that the line segment PCPCPC is the diameter of the circumcircle of PACBPACBPACB. The coordinates of the endpoints of the diameter are P(1,8)P(1, 8)P(1,8) and C(3,2)C(3, 2)C(3,2).

  6. Use the diameter form of the equation of a circle. The equation of a circle with the endpoints of a diameter at (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1)(x1​,y1​) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2)(x2​,y2​) is given by: (x−x1)(x−x2)+(y−y1)(y−y2)=0(x - x_1)(x - x_2) + (y - y_1)(y - y_2) = 0(x−x1​)(x−x2​)+(y−y1​)(y−y2​)=0 Substituting the coordinates of P(1,8)P(1, 8)P(1,8) and C(3,2)C(3, 2)C(3,2): (x−1)(x−3)+(y−8)(y−2)=0(x - 1)(x - 3) + (y - 8)(y - 2) = 0(x−1)(x−3)+(y−8)(y−2)=0 Expanding the terms: (x2−3x−x+3)+(y2−2y−8y+16)=0(x^2 - 3x - x + 3) + (y^2 - 2y - 8y + 16) = 0(x2−3x−x+3)+(y2−2y−8y+16)=0 x2−4x+3+y2−10y+16=0x^2 - 4x + 3 + y^2 - 10y + 16 = 0x2−4x+3+y2−10y+16=0 Combining like terms, we get the final equation: x2+y2−4x−10y+19=0{x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 10y + 19 = 0x2+y2−4x−10y+19=0

  7. Compare with the given options. The derived equation is x2+y2−4x−10y+19=0{x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 10y + 19 = 0x2+y2−4x−10y+19=0, which matches option B.

Conclusion:

The equation of the circumcircle of the triangle PAB is x2+y2−4x−10y+19=0{x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 10y + 19 = 0x2+y2−4x−10y+19=0.
