A circle touches a straight line lx + my + n = 0 & cuts the circle x2 + y2 = 9 orthogonally. The locus of centres of such circle is :
  1. (lx + my + n)2 = (l 2 + m2) (x2 + y2 – 9)
  2. (lx + my – n)2 = (l 2 + m2) (x2 + y2 – 9)
  3. (lx + my + n)2 = (l 2 + m2) (x2 + y2 + 9)
  4. none of these

Answer

(A) ( l x + my + n) 2 = ( l 2 + m 2 ) (x 2 + y 2 – 9)
