Question

Find the length of the tangent from any point on the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx+ 2fy + c = 0 to the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c1 = 0 is

Solution

Correct option is

 

Let (x1y1) be any point on

                     x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0  

∴  Length of  tangent from (x­1y1) to the circle

                                        x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c1 = 0 is
