P(a, b) is a point in first quadrant. If two circles which passes through point P and touches both the coordinate axis, intersect each other orthogonally, then

A

`alpha^(2) + beta^(2) = 4 alpha beta`

B

`(alpha + beta)^(2) = 4 alpha beta`

C

`alpha^(2) +beta^(2) = alpha beta`

D

`alpha^(2) +beta^(2) = 2 alpha beta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
For orthogonal of two circle `2(r_(1)-r_(2))^(2) = r_(1)^(2) +r_(2)^(2)`
`rArr (r_(1)+r_(2))^(2) = 6r_(1)r_(2)`
`rArr 4(alpha + beta)^(2) = 6 (alpha^(2)+beta^(2))`
`rArr alpha^(2) + beta^(2) = 4 alpha beta`
