    A circle which passes through the point (1, 1) and cuts orthogonally the two circles \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-8x-2y+16=0\] and \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-4x-4y+1=0\] . If its centre is (a, b), then a + b =

    A) 0

    B) -1

    C) \[\frac{1}{2}\]                          

    D) \[-\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d]: Let the equation of the circle be \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0.\] \[\because \]It cuts the two given circles orthogonally \[\therefore \]\[-8g-2f=c+16\]and\[-4g-4f=c+1\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[8g+2f+c=-16\]                           ?(i) and\[4g+4f+c=-1\] \[\because \]The circle passes through (1,1) \[\therefore \]\[2g+2f+c=-2\]                                  ...(iii) Solving (i), (ii) and (iii) we get \[g=-\frac{7}{3},f=\frac{17}{6},c=-3\] \[\therefore \]The centre is \[\left( \frac{7}{3},-\frac{17}{6} \right)=(a,b)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[a=\frac{7}{3}\]and\[b=-\frac{17}{6}\Rightarrow a+b=-\frac{1}{2}\]
