Line L 1 ≡ 3 x - 4 y + 1 = 0 touches the circles C 1 and C 2 . Centres of C 1 and C 2 are A 1 1,2 and A 2 3,1 respectively, then identify the INCORRECT statement from the following statements.
Options
- AL 1 is direct common tangent of these circles
- BL 1 is transverse common tangent to these circles
- CRadius of circle C 1 is 4 5 units
- DRadius of circle C 2 is 6 5 units
Correct answer
A. L 1 is direct common tangent of these circles
Step-by-step solution
As A 1 & A 2 lie on different sides of L 1 hence, L 1 is transverse common tangent Radius of C 1 = 3 - 8 + 1 5 = 4 5 Radius of C 2 = 9 - 4 + 1 5 = 6 5
