If \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) are radii of two circles touching all the four circles \((x \pm r)^2+(y \pm r)^2=r^2\), then \(\frac{r_1+r_2}{r}=\)

  1. A \(\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{2}\)
  2. B \(3 \sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(2 \sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3+\sqrt{2}}{4}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Distance from origin to center of any given circle: \(d = \sqrt{r^2+r^2} = r\sqrt{2}\). For inner circle (radius \(r_1\)) touching externally: \(r_1+r = d \Rightarrow r_1 = r\sqrt{2}-r\). For outer circle (radius \(r_2\)) touching internally:…
