If the circles x2 + y2 + 2x + 2ky + 6 = 0 and x2 + y2 + 2ky + k = 0 intersect orthogonaly then k is(a) 2 or –3/2(b) –2 or –3/2(c) 2 or 3/2(d) – 2 or 3/2 |

Answer» Correct option (a) 2 or –3/2 Explanation: Condition for two circles to intersect at right angles is 2g1 g2 + 2f1 f2 = c1 + c2 Here two circles are x2 + y2 + 2x + 2ky + 6 = 0 and x2 + y2 + 2ky + k = 0 g1 = 1, f1 = k c1 = 6 g2 = 0 f2 = k c2 = k 0 + 2k2 = 6 + k 2k2 – k – 6 = 0 2k2 – 4k + 3k – 6 = 0 (2k + 3) (k – 2) = 0 k = –3/2 or k = 2 |
