Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let the equation of circle be
\[
x^{2}+y^{2}+2 g x+2 f y+c=0
\]
and centre \((-g,-f)\)
Centres of given circles are
\[
\mathrm{C}_{1}\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right), \mathrm{C}_{2}\left(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right), \mathrm{C}_{3}\left(1,-\frac{3}{2}\right)
\]
Since, the Eq. (A) cut the given circles orthogonally.
\(\begin{array}{lll}\therefore & -g-f=c-14 & \ldots(\text { i) } \\ & 3 g-5 f=c-10 & \ldots(\text { (ii) } \\ \text { and } & -2 g+3 f=c-27 & \ldots \text { (iii) }\end{array}\)
On solving Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
\[
g=-3, \quad f=-4, \quad c=21
\]
\(\therefore\) From Eq. (A), the circle is
\[
x^{2}+y^{2}-6 x-8 y+21=0
\]
\(\therefore\) Length of diameter
\[
=2 \sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}-21}=4
\]
\[
x^{2}+y^{2}+2 g x+2 f y+c=0
\]
and centre \((-g,-f)\)
Centres of given circles are
\[
\mathrm{C}_{1}\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right), \mathrm{C}_{2}\left(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right), \mathrm{C}_{3}\left(1,-\frac{3}{2}\right)
\]
Since, the Eq. (A) cut the given circles orthogonally.
\(\begin{array}{lll}\therefore & -g-f=c-14 & \ldots(\text { i) } \\ & 3 g-5 f=c-10 & \ldots(\text { (ii) } \\ \text { and } & -2 g+3 f=c-27 & \ldots \text { (iii) }\end{array}\)
On solving Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
\[
g=-3, \quad f=-4, \quad c=21
\]
\(\therefore\) From Eq. (A), the circle is
\[
x^{2}+y^{2}-6 x-8 y+21=0
\]
\(\therefore\) Length of diameter
\[
=2 \sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}-21}=4
\]
