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
- Afor any circle $C$ which is touched internally by $C_1$ and $C_2, C_3$ lies within $C$.
- Bthere is no circle $C$ touched internally by $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$.
- Correct answerCa circle $C$ touched internally by $C_1, C_2$ and $C_3$ has radius $\left(1+\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right) r$.
- Correct answerDthe 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'.
