10-1.Circle and System of Circles
hard
If two circles ${(x - 1)^2} + {(y - 3)^2} = {r^2}$ and ${x^2} + {y^2} - 8x + 2y + 8 = 0$ intersect in two distinct points, then
A
$2 < r < 8$
B
$r = 2$
C
$r < 2$
D
$r > 2$
(AIEEE-2003) (IIT-1989)
Solution
(a) When two circles intersect each other, then
Difference between their radii $r – 3 < 5$ $⇒$ $r = 8$…..$(i)$
Difference between their radiiSum of their radii > Distance between centres ….$(ii)$
$ \Rightarrow $ $r + 3 > 5$
$\Rightarrow r > 2$
Hence by (i) and (ii), $2 < r < 8$.
