10-1.Circle and System of Circles
hard

The equation of the circle which passes through the point of intersection of circles ${x^2} + {y^2} - 8x - 2y + 7 = 0$ and ${x^2} + {y^2} - 4x + 10y + 8 = 0$ and having its centre on $y$ - axis, will be

A

${x^2} + {y^2} + 22x + 9 = 0$

B

${x^2} + {y^2} + 22x - 9 = 0$

C

${x^2} + {y^2} + 22y + 9 = 0$

D

${x^2} + {y^2} + 22y - 9 = 0$

Solution

(c) Using ${S_1} + \lambda {S_2} = 0$,

but its centre is on $y$ – axis.

$i.e.$, $ – 8 – 4\lambda = 0$ or $\lambda = – 2$.

Hence required equation is ${x^2} + {y^2} + 22y + 9 = 0$.
