Choose the correct statement about two circles whose equations are given below: x 2 + y 2 - 10 x - 10 y + 41 = 0 x 2 + y 2 - 22 x - 10 y + 137 = 0
Options
- Acircles have same centre
- Bcircles have no meeting point
- Ccircles have only one meeting point
- Dcircles have two meeting points
Correct answer
C. circles have only one meeting point
Step-by-step solution
x 2 + y 2 - 10 x - 10 y + 41 = 0 A ( 5 , 5 ) , R 1 = 3 x 2 + y 2 - 22 x - 10 y + 137 = 0 B ( 11 , 5 ) , R 2 = 3 A B = 6 = R 1 + R 2 Touch each other externally ⇒ circles have only one meeting point.
