Let the circle C₁: x^2+y^2-2(x+y)+1=0 and C₂ be a circle having centre at (-1,0) and radius 2 . If the line of the common chord of C ₁ and C ₂ intersects the y -axis at the point P , then the square of the distance of P from the centre of C ₁ is :
Options
- A2
- B1
- C4
- D6
Correct answer
A. 2
Step-by-step solution
aligned & S₁: x^2+y^2-2 x-2 y+1=0 & S₂: x^2+y^2+2 x-3=0 & Common chord =S₁-S₂=0 & -4 x-2 y+4=0 & 2 x+y=2 P(0,2) & d_ (c, p) ^2=(1-0)^2+(2-1)^2=2 aligned
