Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of common chord: \((x^2+y^2+3x+5y+4) - (x^2+y^2+5x+3y+4) = 0 \Rightarrow -2x+2y=0 \Rightarrow x-y=0\) For circle \(x^2+y^2+3x+5y+4=0\): Center \(C=(-3/2, -5/2)\), Radius \(R = \sqrt{(3/2)^2+(5/2)^2-4} = \sqrt{9/4+25/4-16/4} = \sqrt{18/4} = 3/\sqrt{2}\) Distance from…
