Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) −1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know that two circles \[ \begin{aligned} & x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y=0 \text { and } \\ & x^2+y^2+2 g^{\prime} x+2 f^{\prime} y=0 \text { touch each other } \\ & \text { if } g f^{\prime}=g^{\prime} f \end{aligned} \] So, circles given in question, touch each other if…
