If the two circles \((x-1)^2+(y-3)^2=r^2\) and \(x^2+y^2-8 x+2 y+8=0\) intersect in two different points, then what can we conclude about \(r\) ?

  1. A \(r < 2\)
  2. B \(r=2\)
  3. C \(r>2\)
  4. D \(2 < r < 8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 < r < 8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As circles intersects in two distinct points So, \(\left|r_1-r_2\right| < \left|C_1 C_2\right| < r_1+r_2\) ...(i) Here, \(\quad C_1=(1,3), C_2=(4,-1)\) \(\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad C_1 C_2 & =\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(-1-3)^2} \\ & =\sqrt{9+16}=5 \end{aligned}\)…
