For the circles \((x-a)^2+y^2=a^2\) and \(x^2+(y-a)^2=a^2\), where \(a>0\), which one of the following is not true?

  1. A mid-point of the common chord is \(\left(\frac{a}{2}, \frac{a}{2}\right)\)
  2. B length of the common chord is \((\sqrt{2} a)\)
  3. C the circles intersect at \((0,0)\) and \((a, a)\)
  4. D common chord is at a distance of \((\sqrt{2 } a)\) units from the centres of given circles
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) common chord is at a distance of \((\sqrt{2 } a)\) units from the centres of given circles

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, circle \((x-a)^2+y^2=a^2 \text { and } x^2+(y-a)^2=a^2\) Common chord of circle is \((x-a)^2-x^2+y^2-(y-a)^2=0\) \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow(x-a-x)(x-a+x)+(y+y-a)(y-y+a)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow(2 x-a)-(2 y-a)=0 \Rightarrow x-y=0 \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) End point of…
