P(a, b) is a point in the first quadrant. If the two circles which pass through P and touch both the
co − ordinate axes cut at right angles, then find condition in a and b.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Equations of two circles touching both the axes are
∵ (i) & (ii) are orthogonal also
Now point 
lies over the circle
& 
are roots of this equation
and 
from (iii), (iv) & (v), we get
