Solution

If two circles intersect at two distinct points

$\Rightarrow\left|\mathrm{r}_1-\mathrm{r}_2\right|<\mathrm{C}_1 \mathrm{C}_2<\mathrm{r}_1+\mathrm{r}_2$

$ |\mathrm{r}-2|<\sqrt{9+16}<\mathrm{r}+2 $

$ |\mathrm{r}-2|<5 \text { and } \mathrm{r}+2>5$

$ -5<\mathrm{r}-2<5$

$r>3$        $………….(1)$

$-3<\mathrm{r}<7$       $………………(2)$

From $(1)$ and $(2)$

$3<\mathrm{r}<7$
