Q91 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2023 (14 May Shift 1) · Mathematics

If the angle between the circles $x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y+k=0$ and $x^2+y^2+8 x-4 y+11=0$ is $\frac{\pi}{2}$, then the value of $k$ is

  • A
    $-3$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $-15$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $15$

Solution

Circles are orthogonal $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 2 g_1 g_2+2 f_1 f_2=\mathrm{C}_1+\mathrm{C}_2 \\ & \Rightarrow 2(-2)(4)+2(-3)(--2)=k+11 \\ & \Rightarrow-16+12=k+11 \Rightarrow k=-15\end{aligned}$

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