- Cut each other orthogonally
- Do not meet
- Intersect at points lying on the line \( 4x + 8y - 7 = 0 \)
- Touch each other at the point lying on the line \( 4x + 8y - 7 = 0 \)

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Centers: \[ C_1 = (1, 2), \quad C_2 = (-1, -2) \] Radii: \[ r_1 = \sqrt{1^2 + 2^2 + 4} = 3, \quad r_2 = \sqrt{1^2 + 2^2 + 11} = 4 \] The line joining centers: \[ \text{Find radical axis of circles} \Rightarrow \text{line} \ 4x + 8y - 7 = 0 \]

Top Questions on Circle
- If the line $$ 4x - 3y + 7 = 0 $$ touches the circle $$ x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 4y - 12 = 0 $$ at $ (\alpha, \beta) $, then find $ \alpha + 2\beta $.
- If the equation of the circle having the common chord to the circles $$ x^2 + y^2 + x - 3y - 10 = 0 $$ and $$ x^2 + y^2 + 2x - y - 20 = 0 $$ as its diameter is $$ x^2 + y^2 + \alpha x + \beta y + \gamma = 0, $$ then find $ \alpha + 2\beta + \gamma $.
- If $ r_1 $ and $ r_2 $ are radii of two circles touching all the four circles $$ (x \pm r)^2 + (y \pm r)^2 = r^2, $$ then find the value of $$ \frac{r_1 + r_2}{r}. $$
- The slope of the common tangent drawn to the circles $$ x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 12y - 216 = 0 $$ and $$ x^2 + y^2 + 6x - 12y + 36 = 0 $$ is:
- Find the equation of the circle which passes through the points $ (1,2) $, $ (4,3) $ and has its center on the line $ x + y = 5 $.
