If the point (a, - a) lies inside the circle x2+y24x+2y8=0, then a lies in the interval

a
(−1,4)
b
(−∞,−1)
c
(4,∞)
d
[−1,4]

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Since the point (a, - a) lies inside the circle x2+y2−4x+2y−8=0.∴    a2+a2−4a−2a−8<0⇒    2a2−6a−8<0⇒    a2−3a−4<0⇒    (a−4)(a+1)<0⇒−1
