The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
Two circles cutting orthogonally satisfy:
\[
2g_1g_2+2f_1f_2=c_1+c_2
\]
Maximum chord occurs when line passes through center.
Step 1: Equation of variable circle.
Passing through origin. \[ x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy=0 \]
Step 2: Orthogonal condition.
Given second circle: \[ g=-3,\qquad f=4,\qquad c=16 \] Apply condition \[ 2(g)(-3)+2(f)(4)=16 \] \[ -6g+8f=16 \] \[ -3g+4f=8 \]
Step 3: Maximum chord condition.
Chord maximum when line passes through center. Center of circle \[ (-g,-f) \] Must lie on \[ x-y-2=0 \] So \[ -g+f-2=0 \] \[ f-g=2 \] Solve equations. \[ g=-1,\qquad f=1 \] Diameter line through center and origin: \[ x+y=2 \] Thus \[ \boxed{x+y=2} \]
