Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left(2, \frac{-5}{2}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(S_1: x^2+y^2-1=0\) ...(i) \(S_2: x^2+y^2-8 x+15=0\) ...(ii) and \(S_3: x^2+y^2+10 y+24=0\) ...(iii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), \(8 x-15=1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad x=2\) Now, from Eqs. (i) and (iii), \(-10 y-24=1\) \(\Rightarrow-10 y=25 \Rightarrow y=\frac{-5}{2}\) Hence, the…
