(a)
The equation of a system of circle with its centre on the axis of $x$is$x^{2} + y^{2} + 2gx + c = 0$. Any point on the radical axis is $(0,\ y_{1})$
Putting$x = 0,\ y = \pm \sqrt{- c}$. If $c$ is negative we have two real points on radical axis, then the circles are said to be intersecting circles
