  1. A circles
  2. B non-intersecting circles

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) circles

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation \(x^{2}+y^{2}+2 g x+c=0\) represents co-axial system of circle having centre ul \((-g, 0)\) and radius \(=\sqrt{g^{2}-c}\). As \(c < 0\), radius is always greater than \(0 . \mathrm{So}\), it has imaginary limiting points which show that circles are intersecting.
