Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (0,-1)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of circles are \(\begin{aligned} S_1 & \equiv x^2+y^2+2 x+2 y+1=0 \\ \text { and } \quad S_2 \equiv x^2+y^2-2 x+2 y+1 & =0 \end{aligned}\) In circle \(S_1\), centre \(c_1=(-1,-1)\), radius \(r_1=\sqrt{1+1-1}=1\) In circle \(S_2\), centre \(C_2=(1,-1)\), radius…
