Question

 

Find the limiting points of the circles 

       (x2 + y2 + 2gx + c) + λ(x2 + y2 + 2fy + d) = 0

Solution

Correct option is

 

The given circles are

     (x2 + y2 + 2gx + c) + λ(x2 + y2 + 2fy + d) = 0

Equating the radius of the circle to zero, we get

               

   

  

Let the roots be λ1 and λ2  

  

                                

                              

Hence limiting points are
