Correct answer: C, B
-
Write the given circles in standard form
Let the required circle have centre and radius . Then
The given circles are:
-
so its centre is and radius is .
-
so its centre is and radius is .
-
-
Use orthogonality condition
Two circles with centres distance and radii are orthogonal if
So for circle :
With
Distance squared between centres:
With
Distance squared between centres:
-
Subtract (1) from (2)
-
Use the fact that the circle passes through
Since lies on , Substituting ,
-
Use equation (1)
From (1), with :
-
Equate (3) and (4)
Hence the centre is
-
Find the radius
Using (4):
-
Check the options
- A: radius of is 8 → False
- B: radius of is 7 → True
- C: centre of is → True
- D: centre of is → False
Therefore the correct options are:
-
Compare with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: C, B
This is the same set of correct options as , so the derived answer agrees.
