Q41 / 155 · WBJEE 2022 · Mathematics

Two circle $S_1=p x^2+p y^2+2 g^{\prime} x+2 f^{\prime} y+d=0$ and $S_2=x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+d^{\prime}=0$ have a common chord $P Q$. The equation of $\mathrm{PQ}$ is

  • A
    $S_1-S_2=0$
  • B
    $S_1+S_2=0$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\mathrm{S}_1-\mathrm{pS}_2=0$
  • D
    $\mathrm{S}_1+\mathrm{pS}_2=0$

Solution

$\frac{\mathrm{S}_1}{\mathrm{p}}-\mathrm{S}_2=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_1-\mathrm{pS}_2=0$

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