P(0,-2) and Q on circle x²+y²-5x-y+5=0So centre of circle is (5/2 , 1/2)Which can directly find by trick ( general equation of circle is ax²+by²+2gx+2fy+c=0 so centre is (-g/2,-f/2))So farthest point is always perpendicular line so slope of line with point (5/2 , 1/2) and (0,-2) is -1 .So its perpendicular line slope is 1 .So equation of line which is farthest from circle is ( y-0)=1(x+2)= x-y+2 ans

So distance PQ is (5 - (3)½)/ (2)½ and max value of (PQ)² is {14 - 5(3)½}.ans

as per the given equation of circle x^2+y^2-5x-y+5=O and the given point be P(0,-2);
we know that centre of the circle is (-g,-f) from general equation of circle
now on comparing both we get centre coordinate like (5/2,1/2); 
we know that radius of the circle is =√(g²+f²-c) from general equation
therefore radius of this circle is (3½/2½)
distance of the point P from centre is (5/2½)
Now For PQ to be maximum the distance should be equal = the radius + the distance of the point from centre)
PQ =(5+3½)/2½
PQ²=14+5√3
