If the circles ${x^2} + {y^2} + 2ax + cy + a = 0$ and ${x^2} + {y^2} - 3ax + dy - 1 = 0$ intersect in two distinct points $P$ and $Q$ then the line $5x + by - a = 0$ passes through $P$ and $Q$ for
Infinitely many values of $a$
Exactly two values of $a$
Exactly one value of $a$
No value of $a$
Suppose $S_1$ and $S_2$ are two unequal circles, $A B$ and $C D$ are the direct common tangents to these circles. A transverse common tangent $P Q$ cuts $A B$ in $R$ and $C D$ in $S$. If $A B=10$, then $R S$ is
The common tangent to the circles $x^2 + y^2 = 4$ and $x^2 + y^2 + 6x + 8y - 24 = 0$ also passes through the point
$P$ is a point $(a, b)$ in the first quadrant. If the two circles which pass through $P$ and touch both the co-ordinate axes cut at right angles, then :
Consider a family of circles which are passing through the point $(- 1, 1)$ and are tangent to $x-$ axis. If $(h, k)$ are the coordinate of the centre of the circles, then the set of values of $k$ is given by the interval
The two circles ${x^2} + {y^2} - 2x - 3 = 0$ and ${x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 6y - 8 = 0$ are such that
