Q49 / 68 · NEST (NISER) 2023 (Session 2) · Mathematics

Let $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$, be three circles having the same radius $r$, which touch each other externally. Then

  • A
    for any circle $C$ which is touched internally by $C_1$ and $C_2, C_3$ lies within $C$.
  • B
    there is no circle $C$ touched internally by $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$.
  • Correct answer
    C
    a circle $C$ touched internally by $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$ has radius $\left(1+\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right) r$.
  • Correct answer
    D
    the radius of any circle $C$ touched internally by $C_1$ and $C_2$ is at least $2 r$.

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'C', 'D'.
