The condition for the coaxial system $x^2+y^2+2 \lambda x+c=0$, where $\lambda$ is a parameter and $c$ is a constant, to have distinct limiting points, is
  1. $c=0$
  2. $c < 0$
  3. $c=-1$
  4. $c>0$

Solution

For $c>0$, the coaxial system of circles represents a non-intersecting coaxial system for which 2 distinct limiting points.
