Point $M$ moved along the circle $(x - 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 20 $. Then it broke away from it and moving along a tangent to the circle, cuts the $x-$ axis at the point $(- 2, 0)$ . The co-ordinates of the point on the circle at which the moving point broke away can be :

  • A

    $\left( { - \,\frac{3}{5}\,\,,\,\,\frac{{46}}{5}} \right)$

  • B

    $\left( { - \,\frac{2}{5}\,\,,\,\,\frac{{44}}{5}} \right)$

  • C

    $(6, 4)$

  • D

    $(B)$ or $(C)$ both
