Circle 2 Question 9

10. If the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}+2 x+2 k y+6=0$ and $x^{2}+y^{2}+2 k y+k=0$ intersect orthogonally, then $k$ is

(a) 2 or $-3 / 2$

(b) -2 or $-3 / 2$

(c) 2 or $3 / 2$

(d) -2 or $3 / 2$

$(2000,2 M)$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 10. (a)

Solution:

  1. Since, the given circles intersect orthogonally.

$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore & 2(1)(0)+2(k) & (k)=6+k \\ & & & {\left[\because 2 g _1 g _2+2 f _1 f _2=c _1+c _2\right] } \\ & & & \\ & & 2 k^{2}-k-6=0 \Rightarrow & k=-\frac{3}{2}, 2 \end{aligned} $
