The circle passing through the intersection of the circles, x2+y2−6x=0{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 6x = 0 and x2+y2−4y=0{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 4y = 0 having its centre on the line, 2x−3y+12=02x - 3y + 12 = 0, also passes through the point :

Options

  1. A(–1,3)( – 1, 3 )
  2. B(–3,6)( – 3, 6 )
  3. C(–3,1)( – 3, 1 )
  4. D(1,–3)( 1, – 3 )

Correct answer

B. (–3,6)( – 3, 6 )

Step-by-step solution

By family of circle, circle passing through intersection of given circles will be member of

S1+λS2=0family(λ≠1){S}_{1} + {\lambda S}_{2} = 0\text{family} ( \lambda \ne 1 )
