orthogonally. Then 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Since given equation of the circle is,
…… .(i)
With centre 
lies on the line
will satisfy it 
……… ..(ii)
Since circle (i) cuts the given circles
and 
orthogonally
so, 
……………… ..(iii)
and 
…………… .(iv)
From Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get 
.....(v)
From Eq. (ii) and (v), we get
Hence, option is correct.
