10-1.Circle and System of Circles
normal
In the figure shown, radius of circle $C_1$ be $ r$ and that of $C_2$ be $\frac{r}{2}$ , where $r= \frac {1}{3} PQ,$ then length of $AB$ is (where $P$ and $Q$ being centres of $C_1$ $\&$ $C_2$ respectively)

A
$2 \sqrt {3} r$
B
$\frac{3 \sqrt {3} r}{4}$
C
$3 \sqrt {3} r$
D
$\frac{3 \sqrt {3} r}{2}$
Solution
$AB = \sqrt {{{\left( {PQ} \right)}^2} – {{\left( {r – \frac{r}{2}} \right)}^2}} $
$ = \sqrt {9{r^2} – \frac{{9{r^2}}}{4}} $
$ = \frac{{3\sqrt 3 }}{2}r$
