Given two circles are 

S_{1}= x^{2}+y^{2}+5Kx+2y+K=0

S_{2}= 2(x^{2}+y^{2})+2Kx+3y-1=0

Equation of common chord 

S_{1}-S_{2}=0

=> 4kx+\frac{1}{2}y+k+\frac{1}{2}=0................(1)

Given equation of chord is 

4x+5y-k=0..................................(2)

On Comparing (1) & (2)

k=\frac{1}{10}=\frac{k+\frac{1}{2}}{-k}

There is no value of k 

So, option (2) is correct.


Option 1)

infinitely many values of K

Option 2)

no value of K

Option 3)

exactly two values of K

Option 4)

exactly one value of K
