Question
If a circle passes through the point (a, b) and cuts the circle ${x^2}\, + \,{y^2} = {p^2}$ orthogonally, then the equation of the locus of its centre is :
${x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,3ax\, - \,4\,by\,\, + \,({a^2}\, + \,{b^2} - {p^2}) = 0$
$2ax\, + \,\,2\,by\,\, - \,({a^2}\, - \,{b^2} + {p^2}) = 0$
${x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,2ax\, - \,\,3\,by\,\, + \,({a^2}\, - \,{b^2} - {p^2}) = 0$
$2ax\, + \,\,2\,by\,\, - \,({a^2}\, + \,{b^2} + {p^2}) = 0$
