10-1.Circle and System of Circles
medium
Consider the circles ${x^2} + {(y - 1)^2} = $ $9,{(x - 1)^2} + {y^2} = 25$. They are such that
A
These circles touch each other
B
One of these circles lies entirely inside the other
C
Each of these circles lies outside the other
D
They intersect in two points
Solution
(b) Centres and radii of the given circles are
Centres : ${C_1}(0,\;1),\;{C_2}(1,\;0)$;
Radii : ${r_1} = 3,\;{r_2} = 5$.
Clearly, ${C_1}{C_2} = \sqrt 2 < ({r_2} – {r_1})$.
Therefore one circle lies entirely inside the other.
