detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let S1x2+y22x2y2=0

S2x2+y26x6y+14=0 C1(1,1) and C2(3,3)

 

Radius of S1,PC1=1+1+2=2

Radius of S2,PC2=9+914=2

 PC1=QC1=PC2=QC2=2

Now, 2g1g2+2f1f2=2×3+2×3=6+6=12 and 

c1+c2=142=12

Here, 2g1g2+2f1f2=c1+c2

Both circles are orthogonal. So, PC1QC2 is a square.

 Area of PC1QC2=2×2=4 sq. units .
