The equation of the circle described on the common chord of the circles x2+y2+2x=0{x^2} + {y^2} + 2x = 0 and x2+y2+2y=0{x^2} + {y^2} + 2y = 0 as diameter is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
x2+y2+x+y=0{x^2} + {y^2} + x + y = 0
Option D (x2+y2+x+y=0{x^2} + {y^2} + x + y = 0) is correct because it represents the circle described on the common chord of the given circles as a diameter, which is found by using the equation S1+λ(S1−S2)=0S_1 + \lambda(S_1 - S_2) = 0 and the condition that the center lies on the common chord.
