Find the value of \(m+n\), if the circumference of the circle \(x^2+y^2+8 x+8 y-m=0\) is bisected by the circle \(x^2+y^2-2 x+4 y+n=0\).
  1. -56
  2. 56
  3. 50
  4. -34

Solution

Let \(S_1 \equiv x^2+y^2+8 x+8 y-m=0\) \(S_2=x^2+y^2-2 x+4 y+n=0\) Equation of common chord \(\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & & S_1-S_2 & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & & 10 x+4 y-(m+n) & =0 \\ \Rightarrow & & 10 x+4 y & =(m+n) \end{aligned}\) Centre of bisected circle is \((-4,-4)\) which will lie on common chord So, \(\quad\{(m+n)=-56\}\)
