10-1.Circle and System of Circles
easy
If the circles ${x^2} + {y^2} = {a^2}$and ${x^2} + {y^2} - 2gx + {g^2} - {b^2} = 0$ touch each other externally, then
A
$g = ab$
B
${g^2} = {a^2} + {b^2}$
C
${g^2} = ab$
D
$g = a + b$
Solution
(d) According to the condition,
$\sqrt {{{(g – 0)}^2} + {{(0 – 0)}^2}} = a + b $
$\Rightarrow g = a + b$.
