Coordinate Geometry-i Circles (Lecture-02)
1. Find the equation of the system of circles co-axial with the circles
Show Answer
Solution:
Given circles are
System of co-axial circle is
Centre of this circle is
lies on radical axis
2. If the circumference of the circle
(a) 50
(b) 56
(c) -56
(d) -34
Show Answer
Solution: (c)
Equation of radical axis (common chord of these circles) is
Centre of first circle is
Since second circle bisects the first circle
Therefore centre of first circle must lie on common chord.

(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Show Answer
Solution: (d)
Equation of any circle passing through the point of intersection of the circles is
This circle passes through the point
Required circle is
4. If the common chord of the circles
