Let $C_1$ be the circle of radius $1$ with center at the origin. Let $C_2$ be the circle of radius $\mathrm{I}$ with center at the point $A=(4,1)$, where $1<\mathrm{r}<3$. Two distinct common tangents $P Q$ and $S T$ of $C_1$ and $C_2$ are drawn. The tangent $P Q$ touches $C_1$ at $P$ and $C_2$ at $Q$. The tangent $S T$ touches $C_1$ at $S$ and $C_2$ at $T$. Mid points of the line segments $P Q$ and $S T$ are joined to form a line which meets the $x$-axis at a point $B$. If $A B=\sqrt{5}$, then the value of $r^2$ is

Let $C_1$ and $C_2$ be the centres of the circles $x^2 + y^2 -2x -2y -2 = 0$ and $x^2 + y^2 – 6x-6y + 14 = 0$ respectively. If $P$ and $Q$ are the points of intersection of these circles, then the area (in sq. units) of the quadrilateral $PC_1QC_2$ is …………. $\mathrm{sq. \, units}$

Let the latus ractum of the parabola $y ^{2}=4 x$ be the common chord to the circles $C _{1}$ and $C _{2}$ each of them having radius $2 \sqrt{5}$. Then, the distance between the centres of the circles $C _{1}$ and $C _{2}$ is

A variable line $ax + by + c = 0$, where $a, b, c$ are in $A.P.$, is normal to a circle $(x – \alpha)^2 + (y – \beta)^2 = \gamma$ , which is orthogonal to circle $x^2 + y^2- 4x- 4y-1 = 0$. The value of $\alpha + \beta + \gamma$ is equal to

If the circles ${x^2} + {y^2} + 2x + 2ky + 6 = 0$ and ${x^2} + {y^2} + 2ky + k = 0$ intersect orthogonally, then $k$ is
