Solution

The correct option is D None of these
The given circles are (x-1)2+y2 =4 and (x-1)2+y2=16

The point (a+1, 3a) lie on the line x=a+1, y=3a

i.e. y=3(x-1) [eliminating a]

whose slope=3, hence makes angle 60° with the +ve direction of the X-axis.

Hence, we have

A (1+2cos60°, 2sin60°)≡(2, √3)

B(1+4cos60°, 4 sin60°)≡(3, 2√3)

Hence, there is no point on the line segment AB whose abscissa is an integer

Since absicssa of A is 2 and that of B is 3.
