C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Let the equation of the circle be
Since, this circle is passes through 
and 
, we get
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
Equation of circle 
Now, 
is tangent of circle
Let 
and 
are roots of equation,
Now, equation of this circle are
Since, both the circles are orthogonal.
