Detailed Solution

The equation of circle is

x2+y26x10y+P=0(x3)2+(y5)2=(34P)2    ……(i)

Centre (3, 5) and radius ‘r’ =34P

If circle does not touch or intersect the x - axis then radius x<y coordinate of centre C or 34P<5

34P<25P>9 …….(ii)

Also if the circle does not touch or intersect x - axis the radius r < x - coordinate of centre C.

or  34P<334P<9P>25.......(iii)

If the point (1, 4) is inside the circle, then its distance from centre C < r.

or   (31)2+(54)2<34P5<34K

P<29........(iv)

Now all the conditions (ii), (iii) and (iv) are satisfied if 25 < P < 29 which is required value of P.
