Solution

True
First, we draw a circle and a point from the given information.


Now, distance between origin i.e., O(0,0) and P(5,0), PO=(50)2+(002)
[distance between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2]=52+02=5=Radius of circle.And Q(6,8),

OQ=(60)2+(80)2=(62+82)=36+64=100=10

We know that, if the distance of any point from the centre is less than/equal to/more than the radius, then the point is inside/on/outside the circle, respectively.
Here, we see that, OQ>OP
Hence, it is true that point Q(6,8), lies outside the circle.
