    Let a circle pass through the origin and its center be the point of intersection of two mutually perpendicular lines x+(k−1)y+3=0x + (k - 1)y + 3 = 0 and 2x+k2y−4=02x +k^{2}y - 4 = 0. If the line x−y+2=0x - y + 2 = 0 intersects the circle at the points A and B , then (AB)2(AB)^{2} is equal to :
