(B) -4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given circles, \[ \begin{aligned} x^2+y^2-12 x-6 y+41 & =0 \\ \text { and } x^2+y^2+k x+6 y-59 & =0 \end{aligned} \] Centre of first circle is \((6,3)\) and radius \[ r_1=\sqrt{36-9-4}=2 \] Centre of second circle is \(\left(\frac{k}{2},-3\right)\) and radius…
