Q.
The equation of the circle which passes through the point of intersection of the circles x2+y2−8x−2y+7=0 and x2+y2−4x+10y+8=0 and having its centre on y-axis will be
Equation of circles passing through point of intersection of given two circles is x2+y2−8x−2y+7+λ(x2+y2−4x+10y+8)=0 ... (i)
Centre of circle is (4+2λ,1−5λ).
Given that the centre lies on the y-axis then 4+2λ=0 ⇒λ=−2
Hence, the required equation is x2+y2+22y+9=0.
