Correct answer: D
- Identify the two circles
Given: So for , center is and radius is
Also, Rewrite it: So for , center is and radius For this to be a real circle, we need (Though this will automatically follow from intersection condition.)
- Condition for two distinct intersection points
Distance between centers:
For two circles to intersect at two distinct points:
That is,
We solve both inequalities.
- Solve the right inequality
Since both sides are nonnegative, rearrange: Squaring is safe when , and in our valid region anyway.
- Solve the left inequality
This is equivalent to The right part gives back the previous inequality type; the left part gives which is always true. So the effective condition remains
Hence the set of all such values is Therefore,
- Compute the point
We need Substitute: So the point is
- Check which curve contains
Option A:
Substitute : Not correct.
Option B:
Not correct.
Option C:
Not correct.
Option D:
Correct.
- Final answer
The point lies on: So the correct option is D.
