    If a circle passes through the point \[(a,b)\] and cuts the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=4\]orthogonally, then the locus of its centre is

    A)  \[2ax+2by-({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+4)=0\]

    B)  \[2ax+2by+({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+4)=0\]

    C)  \[2ax-2by+({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+4)=0\]

    D)  2ax \[2ax-2by-({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+4)=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the equation of circle be \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0\] ?.(i) Circle (i) cuts the circle \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=4\] orthogonally. \[\therefore \] \[2g0+2f0=c-4\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[c=4\] Also circle (i) passes through (a,b). \[\therefore \] \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+2gx+2fb+4=0\] Now, locus of centre \[(-g,-f)\] is \[2ax+2by-({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+4)=0\]
