Solution

We know that, angle between two circles is given by $\cos \theta=\frac{r_1^2+r_2^2-d^2}{2 r_1 r_2}$, where $r_1$ and $r_2$ are radius and $d$ is distance between centres. $$ \text { (A) } \begin{aligned} \cos \theta & =\frac{(\sqrt{2})^2+(1)^2-\left[\sqrt{(2-2)^2+(1-0)^2}\right]^2}{2 \times \sqrt{2} \times 1} \\ & {\left[\therefore r_1=\sqrt{2}, r_2=1, c_1=(2,0), c_2=(2,1)\right] } \\ & =\frac{2+1-1}{2 \sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{aligned} $$ $$ \therefore \theta=45^{\circ} \text { or } 135^{\circ} $$ (B) $$ \begin{aligned} \cos \theta= & \frac{(3)^2+(\sqrt{17})^2-\left[\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(3+2)^2}\right]^2}{2 \times 3 \times \sqrt{17}} \\ & {\left[\because r_1=3, r_2=\sqrt{17}, c_1=(3,3), c_2=(2,-2)\right] } \\ & =\frac{9+17-26}{6 \sqrt{17}}=0 \\ \theta & =90^{\circ} \end{aligned} $$ (C) $$ \begin{aligned} \cos \theta & =\frac{(5)^2+(3)^2-\left[\sqrt{(-2+2)^2+(7-0)^2}\right]^2}{2 \times 5 \times 3} \\ & {\left[\because r_1=5, r_2=3, c_1=(-2,7), c_2=(-2,0)\right] } \\ & =\frac{25+9-49}{30}=\frac{-15}{30}=\frac{-1}{2} \end{aligned} $$ So, $\theta=120^{\circ}$ or $60^{\circ}$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
