Equation of circle with centre (h,k) and touches

y-axis is given by x2+y22hx2ky+k2=0

Since, it touches y-axis at (0,2) k=2 

x2+y22hx4y+4=0

Also, it passes through (-2, 4) 

(2)2+422h(2)4(4)+4=04+16+4h16+4=0h=2

Hence, centre of circle is (-2, 2) 

(2,2) satisfy the equation given in option (a).

So, diameter of circle is 2x3y+10=0.
