The number of real circles cutting orthogonally the circle x2 + y2 + 2x 2y + 7 = 0 is _______ Ans (*) 1) 0 2) 1 3) 2 4) infinitely many Solution : (*) Faulty question Use the condition for orthogonality 2g1g2 + 2f1f2 = c1 + c2 Then we have 2g 2f = c + 7 Suppose g = f and c = 7, Then the orthogonality condition is satisfied and hence there are infinitely many circles. Alternatively, a circle with any point (outside a given circle) as the centre and length of the tangent from it to the given circle as radius cuts the given circle orthogonally. Hence there are infinitely many circles satisfying the condition. BUT, the given circle is not a real circle. How do we arrive at 2g1g2 + 2f1f2 = c1 + c2 ? 2 Recall : AB2 = r12 + r2 . But this is meaningless because the given circle is not real. Also, recall the definition : The angle between the tangents at a point of intersection is 90. As the given circle is not real, there is no point of intersection and hence one cant discuss about circles orthogonal to it. \ The question is faulty. 11.
