A circle C of radius 2 lies in the second quadrant and touches bothe the coordinate axes

Question 14: A circle C of radius 2 lies in the second quadrant and touches bothe the coordinate axes. Let r be the radius of a circle that has centre at the point (2, 5) and intersects the circle C at exactly two points. If the set of all possible values of r is the interval (α, β), then 3β – 2α is equal to :

(i) 15 (ii) 14

(iii) 12 (iv) 10

Answer : (i) 15

Explanation:- Equation of circle in second quadrant having radius 2 and touching both the axes then centre of circle = (-2, 2)

S1 : (x + 2)² + (y – 2)² = (2)² . . . (i)

Equation of circle whose centre is (2, 5)

S2 : (x – 2)² + (y – 5)² = ( r)² . . . (ii)

Distance between the centre of circles whose centres (-2, 2) and (2, 5)

$c_1c_2 Condition if both the circle intersect at two points Then, [latex]|r_1 - r_2| < c_1c_2 < |r_1 + r_2|$

⇒ |r – 2| < 5 < | r + 2|

⇒ r – 2 < 5 < r + 2

Subtracting r

⇒ -2 < 5 -r < 2

subtracting 5

⇒ -2 – 5 < – r < 2-5

⇒ 3 < r < 7

r ∈ (3, 7)

α = 3, β = 7

3β – 2α = 3(7) – 2(3)

= 21 – 6

= 15
