The equation of a circle with centre C is \(x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 4y - 5 = 0\).

(a) Find the radius of the circle and the coordinates of C.

The point P (1, 2) lies on the circle.

(b) Show that the equation of the tangent to the circle at P is \(4y = 3x + 5\).

The point Q also lies on the circle and PQ is parallel to the x-axis.

(c) Write down the coordinates of Q.

The tangents to the circle at P and Q meet at T.

(d) Find the coordinates of T.
