The locus of a point which moves such that the tangents from it to the two circles

x^2+y^2-5 x-3=0

and

3 x^2+3 y^2+2 x+4 y-6=0

are equal, is given by

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

17 x+4 y+3=0

Option B (

17 x+4 y+3=0

) is correct because it represents the radical axis of the two circles, which is the locus of points with equal tangent lengths.
