  • B
    9
  • C
    0
  • D
    1

Solution

Let

S1:x2+y2-8x-12y+43=0

S2:x2+y2-2x-4y-4=0

If θ is the angle between circles x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 and x2+y2+2g'x+2f'y+c'=0, then cosθ=c+c'-2gg'+ff'2g2+f2-cg'2+f'2-c'

⇒cosθ=43-4-24+1221+4+416+36-43

⇒cosθ=718

⇒secθ=187

Therefore,

7secθ-18cosθ=18-7=11

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
