  1. A \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equation of circles are \(x^{2}+y^{2}-4 x-4 y=0\) and \(2 x^{2}+2 y^{2}=32\) or \(x^{2}+y^{2}-4 x-4 y=0\) and \(x^{2}+y^{2}=16\) \(\therefore\) Equation of common chord is \(\left(x^{2}+y^{2}-4 x-4 y\right)-\left(x^{2}+y^{2}-16\right)=0\)…
