Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Circles are \[ \begin{aligned} & c_1, x^2+y^2+2 x+4 y+1=0 \\ & c_2, x^2+y^2-2 x+6 y-3=0 \end{aligned} \] On comparing with general form of circles \(x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0\) where, centre = (− g, − f) and radius…
