For the circle x2+y2−10x+4y+20=0x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 4y + 20 = 0, three points are considered: P(5,−1)P(5,-1), Q(2,−2)Q(2,-2) and R(9,−2)R(9,-2). Which one of the following statements is correct? (a) P,  QP,\;Q and RR are all inside the circle (b) PP is inside, QQ is on, and RR is outside the circle (c) PP is on the circle while QQ and RR are outside (d) PP is inside, but both QQ and RR are outside the circle
