Solution

The correct option is D (0, –5) (0, 19)

Any point on the y axis is of the form (0, y)
Let, the point be (0, y)

The distance between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (x2x1)2+(y2y1)2

(y7)2+52=132
y214y+49+25=169
y214y95=0
On factorising above equation, we get,
y219y+5y95=0
(y19)(y+5)=0
y=19,5

The points are (0, 19) and (0, -5).
