Question

If a circle passes through the point (a,b) and cuts the circle x² + y² = p² orthogonally, then the equation of the locus of its centre is

(a) 2 ax + 2 by - (a² + b² + p²) = 0

(b) x² + y² - 2ax - 3by + (a² - b² - p²) = 0

(c) 2ax + 2by - (a² - b² + p²) = 0

(d) x² + y² - 3ax - 4by + (a² + b² - p²) = 0

Answer 1
