The correct answer is: 38

On plotting the diagram of given data we get,

Now we know that common chord is given by S1-S2=4x+4y+5=0

Now we know common chord is bisected by line joining the centre ,

So assuming line joining the centres of circle is dividing the common chord in λ:1,

So coordinate of centre of circle S is given by x=2λ+1 & y=-2λλ+1

Now centre will lie on the common chord so,

4×2λ+1 +4× -2λλ+1+5=0

λ=133

So absicissa will be 2λ+1=38
