Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Perpendicular

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The radical axis of any two circles is perpendicular to the line joining their centres. Let, the equation of two circles are \(\begin{aligned} x^2+y^2+2 g_1 x+2 f_1 y+c_1 & =0 \\ x^2+y^2+2 g_2 x+2 f_2 y+c_2 & =0 \end{aligned}\) and \(x^2+y^2+2 g_2 x+2 f_2 y+c_2=0\) The equation…
