If the circle \(x^2+y^2=a^2\) intersects the hyperbola \(x y=c^2\) in four points \(\left(x_i, y_i\right)\), for \(i=1,2,3\) and 4 , then \(y_1+y_2+y_3+y_4\) equals

  1. A 0
  2. B \(c\)
  3. C \(a\)
  4. D \(c^4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\begin{array}{rlrl} \text { Given, } & & x^2 y^2 & =c^4 \\ \Rightarrow & y^2\left(a^2-y^2\right) & =c^4 \\ \Rightarrow & y^4-a^2 y^2+c^4 & =0 \end{array}\) Let \(y_1, y_2, y_3\) and \(y_4\) are the roots. \(\therefore \quad y_1+y_2+y_3+y_4=0\)
