Detailed Solution
Let C be the centre of the given circle and r be itsradius. The coordinates of C are (5, 7) and r=55.The maximum and minimum values of the distances of point P(−7,2) from the points on the given circle are (CP+r) and(CP - r) respectively.We have, CP=(5+7)2+(7−2)2=13Geometric mean =(13+55)(13−55)=169−125=211∴ m = 2 and n = 11. Hence, mn = 22
