Let's take the Right Angled Triangle ADB
\(AB^2\) = \(BD^2\) + \(AD^2\)
\((2√5)^2\) = \(BD^2\) +\((r+r-1)^2\)
20 = \(BD^2\) + 4\(r^2\)+1-4r --------> Equation 1
Let's take the Right Angled Triangle ABC
\(AC^2\) = \(AB^2\)+ \(BC^2\)
4\(r^2\) = \((2√5)^2\) + \(BC^2\)
4\(r^2\) = 20 + \(BC^2\) --------> Equation 2
Let's take the Right Angled Triangle BDC
\(BC^2\) = \(BD^2\) + \(DC^2\)
\(BC^2\)= \(BD^2\)+ 1--------> Equation 3
Replace \(BC^2\) from equation 3 to Equation 2
4\(r^2\) = 20 + \(BD^2\)+ 1
4\(r^2\) = 21 +\(BD^2\)
\(BD^2\) = 4\(r^2\) - 21 --------> Equation 4
Replace \(BD^2\) from equation 4 to Equation 1
20 = 4\(r^2\) - 21 + 4\(r^2\) + 1 - 4r
8\(r^2\) - 4r - 40 = 0
2\(r^2\) - r - 10 = 0
Solving for r we get
r = -2 or 5/2
Circumference of the circle = 2 * π *\(\frac{5}{2}\) = 5π
Answer is A
