Let the abscissae of the two points PP and QQ on a circle be the roots of x2−4x−6=0x^2 - 4x - 6 = 0 and the ordinates of PP and QQ be the roots of y2+2y−7=0y^2 + 2y - 7 = 0. If PQPQ is a diameter of the circle x2+y2+2ax+2by+c=0x^2 + y^2 + 2ax + 2by + c = 0, then the value of (a+b−c)(a + b - c) is (a) 12 (b) 13 (c) 14 (d) 16
