Consider the equations of the circles:
$S_1 : x^2 + y^2 + 24x - 10y + a = 0$
$S_2 : x^2 + y^2 = 36$
Which of the following statements is not correct?

  • A
    The number of non-negative integral values of $a$ such that $S_1 = 0$ represents a real circle is $170$.
  • B
    If $S_1 = 0$ and $S_2 = 0$ have no point in common,then the number of integral values of $a$ is more than $49$.
  • C
    If $S_1 = 0$ and $S_2 = 0$ intersect orthogonally,then $a = 36$.
  • D
    If $a = 0$,then the number of common tangents to the circles $S_1 = 0$ and $S_2 = 0$ is $3$.
