Q18 / 105 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Circle

Line L1≡3x-4y+1=0 touches the circles C1 and C2. Centres of C1 and C2 are A11,2 and A23,1 respectively, then identify the INCORRECT statement from the following statements.

  • Correct answer
    A
    L1 is direct common tangent of these circles
  • B
    L1 is transverse common tangent to these circles
  • C
    Radius of circle C1 is 45 units
  • D
    Radius of circle C2 is 65 units

Solution

As A1 & A2 lie on different sides of L1 hence, L1 is transverse common tangent
Radius of C1=3-8+15=45
Radius of C2=9-4+15=65

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