10-1.Circle and System of Circles
medium
The two circles ${x^2} + {y^2} - 4y = 0$ and ${x^2} + {y^2} - 8y = 0$
A
Touch each other internally
B
Touch each other externally
C
Do not touch each other
D
None of these
Solution
(a) ${r_1} = 2$; ${r_2} = 4$
${C_1}{C_2} = 2$
$\because \;{r_2} – {r_1} = {C_1}{C_2}$
$\therefore $ Circle touches internally.
