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.
