Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y+9=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the circle passing through the points of intersection of the given circles, is \[ \begin{aligned} \left(x^2+y^2\right. & -8 x-6 y+21) \\ & +\lambda\left(x^2+y^2-2 x-15\right)=0 \end{aligned} \] If this circle passes through point \((1,2)\), then…
