The centre of the circle is ( ) 1, 2 and the radius is 2. They vertices of the square will lie on lines
passing through the centre and having slopes 1 and 1 (since sides are parallel to the axes). These
lines (diagonals) of the square are ( ) y 2 x 1, y 2 1 x 1 + = + = .
Let us put them in parametric form. We get

vertices are obtained by equating these vertices to 2 (radius of the circle). These are
( )( ) ( ) ( ) 2, 1 0, 3 , 2,1 0,1 . Thus the correct answer should be (d)
