Solution

The correct option is A
True

Given circles $x^{2} + y^{2} + 2 g_{1} x + 2 f_{1} y + c = 0$ .......(1)

$x^{2} + y^{2} + 2 g_{2} x + 2 f_{2} y + c = 0$ ............(2)

Let $C_{1} & C_{2}$ be the centers and $r_{1} & r_{2}$ radii of circle (1) and (2) respectively. $P & Q$ is the point of

intersection of two circles

$C_{1} (- g_{1} - f_{1})$

$C_{2} (- g_{2} - f_{2})$

$r_{1} = \sqrt{g_{1}^{2} + f_{1}^{2} - c_{1}}, r_{2} = \sqrt{g_{2}^{2} + f_{2}^{2} - c_{2}}$

$C_{1} P = r_{1}$

$C_{2} P = r_{2}$

Right angle triangle $C_{1} P C_{2}$

$(c_{1} c_{2})^{2} = r_{1}^{2} + r_{2}^{2}$

$(g_{1} - g_{2})^{2} + (f_{1} - f_{2})^{2} = g_{1}^{2} + f_{1}^{2} - c_{1} + g_{2}^{2} + f_{2}^{2} - c_{2}$

$2 g_{1} g_{2} + 2 f_{1} f_{2} = c_{1} + c_{2}$

So, give statemebt is correct.
