C1 is a circle with centre at A and radius 2. C2 is a circle with centre at B and radius 3. The distance AB is 7. If P is the point of intersection of a transverse common tangent with line AB, then the distance AP is(a) 14/5(b) 7/3(c) 9/4(D) 8/3 |

Answer» Correct option (A) 14/5 Explanation : It is known that point P is the internal centre of similitude and AP:PB = 2:3 . Therefore, 3AP = 2PB = 2(AB - AP) = 2(7 - AP) ⇒ 5 AP = 14 ⇒ AP = 14/5 |
