The number of common tangents to the circles `x^(2) + y^(2) = 4 and x^(2)+y^(2)-6x-8y=24` is |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B The centres of the two circles are `C_(1)(0, 0) and C_(2)(3, 4)`, and their radii are 2 and 7 respectively. We have, `C_(1)C_(2)=5 lt` Sum of the radii. Also, `C_(1)C_(2)=` Difference of the radii Thus, the two circles touch each other internally. Hence, there is only one common tangent. |
