Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{12}{\sqrt{13}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x^2+y^2-6 x+5\) and \(x^2+y^2+4 y-5=0\) \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow(x-3)^2+y^2=4 \text { and } x^2+(y+2)^2=9 \\ & \Rightarrow a=3, b=-2 \end{aligned}\) Length of common chord \(=\left|\frac{2 a b}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\right|=\frac{12}{\sqrt{13}}\).
