QUESTION 12

Prove that two different circles cannot intersect at more than two points.
[Hint: Let the two circles intersect at three points A, B and C. Then, A, B and C will be non collinear points. But according to theorem 13.5, one and only one circle can be drawn through three non-collinear points A ,B and C . This contradicts our hypothesis
Hence , two separate circles cannot intersect at more than two points]
