Question:

If the circle \(S_1 = x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 4y + 1 = 0\) bisects the circumference of circle \(x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 3 = 0\), then the radius of circle \(S_1\) is

Show Hint

Use geometric constraints like bisection to infer positional relation and derive radius.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

If it bisects circumference, then it must pass through extremities of diameter of given circle. Use this and center-radius form to get radius of \(S_1\)
