Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the equation of the circle be \(x^2+y^2-2\alpha x-2\beta y+c=0\). Orthogonality with \(x^2+y^2-2 y-3=0\): \(2(-\alpha)(0) + 2(-\beta)(-1) = c + (-3) \implies 2\beta = c - 3\). Orthogonality with \(x^2+y^2+4 x+3=0\):…
