  4. D –23
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) –23

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equation of circles are \[ \begin{aligned} & S: x^2+y^2+6 x-2 y+k=0 \\ & S^{\prime}: x^2+y^2+2 x-6 y-15=0 \end{aligned} \] Centre \(=(-1,3)\) Equation of common chaod is \(S-S^{\prime}=0\) \[ 4 x+4 y+(k+15)=0 \] Centre of \(S^{\prime}\) lies on the above line…
