Answer» Correct option (d) x2 + y2 – 3x – 3y – 8 = 0 Explanation: Equation of any circle passing through the point of intersection of the circles is x2 + y2 – 4x – 2y – 8 + λ(x2 + y2 – 2x – 4y – 8) = 0 This circle passes through the point (–1,4) 1 + 16 + 4 – 8 – 8 + λ(1 + 16 + 2 – 16 – 8) = 0 5 – 5λ = 0 λ = 1 Required circle is x2 + y2 – 3x – 3y – 8 = 0 |
