The locus of the centre of a circle which cuts orthogonally the circle

{x^2} + {y^2} - 20x + + 4 = 0

and which touches

x = 2

, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

{y^2} = 16x

Option D (

{y^2} = 16x

) is correct because it represents the locus of the center of the circle that cuts the given circle orthogonally and touches the line x=2, derived by eliminating the constant term and finding the relationship between g and f.
