Answer:

Correct Answer: (b, c)

Solution:

  1. PLAN

(i) The general equation of a circle is

x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0

where, centre and radius are given by (g,f) and g2+f2c, respectively.

(ii) If the two circles x2+y2+2g1x+2f1y+c1=0 and x2+y2+2g2x+2f2y+c2=0 are orthogonal, then 2g1g2+2f1f2=c1+c2.

Let circle be x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0

It passes through (0,1).

1+2f+c=0

Orthogonal with x2+y22x15=0

2g(1)=c15=152g Orthogonal with x2+y21=0c=1g=7 and f=1

Centre is (g,f)(7,1)

 Radius =g2+f2c=49+11=7
