10-1.Circle and System of Circles
medium
Let the latus ractum of the parabola $y ^{2}=4 x$ be the common chord to the circles $C _{1}$ and $C _{2}$ each of them having radius $2 \sqrt{5}$. Then, the distance between the centres of the circles $C _{1}$ and $C _{2}$ is
A
$8$
B
$4 \sqrt{5}$
C
$12$
D
$8 \sqrt{5}$
(JEE MAIN-2020)
Solution

Length of latus rectum $=4$
$DB =2$
$C _{1} B =\sqrt{\left( C _{1} D \right)^{2}-( DB )^{2}}=4$
$C _{1} C _{2}=8$
