(A) To make the given curves $x^2+y^2=4$ and $x+y=a$ homogeneous,we write the equation of the pair of lines as:$x^2+y^2-4\left(\frac{x+y}{a}\right)^2=0$Multiplying by $a^2$,we get:$a^2(x^2+y^2)-4(x^2+y^2+2xy)=0$$(a^2-4)x^2-8xy+(a^2-4)y^2=0$Since this represents a pair of perpendicular straight lines,the sum of the coefficients of $x^2$ and $y^2$ must be zero:$(a^2-4)+(a^2-4)=0$$2a^2-8=0$$a^2=4$$a=\pm 2$Hence,the required set of $a$ is $\{-2, 2\}$.
