Written solution

Given: S passes through (0,1)\text{Given: } S \text{ passes through } (0, 1)

S⊥(x−1)2+y2=16S \perp (x-1)^2 + y^2 = 16

S⊥x2+y2=1S \perp x^2 + y^2 = 1

To find: which option gives the radius / centre of S\text{To find: which option gives the radius / centre of } S

S:x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0S: x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0

Orthogonal: 2(g1g2+f1f2)=c1+c2\text{Orthogonal: } 2(g_1 g_2 + f_1 f_2) = c_1 + c_2

C1:x2+y2−2x−15=0⇒g1=−1,f1=0,c1=−15C_1: x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 15 = 0 \Rightarrow g_1 = -1, f_1 = 0, c_1 = -15

C2:x2+y2−1=0⇒g2=0,f2=0,c2=−1C_2: x^2 + y^2 - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow g_2 = 0, f_2 = 0, c_2 = -1

2(g⋅0+f⋅0)=c+(−1)2(g\cdot 0 + f\cdot 0) = c + (-1)

⇒c=1\Rightarrow c = 1

2(g(−1)+f⋅0)=c+(−15)⇒−2g=c−152(g(-1) + f\cdot 0) = c + (-15) \Rightarrow -2g = c - 15

c=1⇒−2g=−14⇒g=7c = 1 \Rightarrow -2g = -14 \Rightarrow g = 7

Put (0,1): 1+2f+c=0\text{Put } (0,1):\ 1 + 2f + c = 0

c=1⇒2f=−2⇒f=−1c = 1 \Rightarrow 2f = -2 \Rightarrow f = -1

S:x2+y2+14x−2y+1=0S: x^2 + y^2 + 14x - 2y + 1 = 0

Centre=(−g,−f)=(−7,1)\text{Centre} = (-g, -f) = (-7, 1)

r=g2+f2−cr = \sqrt{g^2 + f^2 - c}

r=49+1−1=49=7r = \sqrt{49 + 1 - 1} = \sqrt{49} = 7

d2=(1+7)2+(0−1)2=64+1=65d^2 = (1+7)^2 + (0-1)^2 = 64 + 1 = 65

r2+r12=72+42=49+16=65 ✓r^2 + r_1^2 = 7^2 + 4^2 = 49 + 16 = 65 \ \checkmark

Centre=(−7,1)⇒option (3)\text{Centre} = (-7, 1) \Rightarrow \text{option (3)}

r=7⇒option (2)r = 7 \Rightarrow \text{option (2)}

Options (2) and (3) are correct\boxed{\text{Options (2) and (3) are correct}}
