The length of the common chord of the circles x2+y2+4x+1=0 and x2+y2+4y1=0, is

a
15/2
b
15
c
215
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Given circles intersect orthogonally. So, the length of their common chord is        l=2r1r2r12+r22,where r1 and r2 are the radii of the given circles.Here, r1=5 and r2=3. ∴ l=2155+3=152..
