Let the straight line $y=2x$ touch a circle with center $(0, \alpha)$,$\alpha>0$,and radius $r$ at a point $A_1$. Let $B_1$ be the point on the circle such that the line segment $A_1 B_1$ is a diameter of the circle. Let $\alpha+r=5+\sqrt{5}$. Match each entry in $List-I$ to the correct entry in $List-II$.
$List-I$ $List-II$
$(P) \alpha \text{ equals}$ $(1) (-2,4)$
$(Q) r \text{ equals}$ $(2) \sqrt{5}$
$(R) A_1 \text{ equals}$ $(3) (-2,6)$
$(S) B_1 \text{ equals}$ $(4) 5$
