The length of the tangent drawn from any point on the circle \(x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c_1=0\) to the circle \(x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c_2=0\) is

  1. A \(\sqrt{C_2-c_1}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{c_1^2+c_2^2}\)
  3. C \(c_1+c_2\)
  4. D \(c_1-c_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{C_2-c_1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Circles are \(\begin{aligned} & C_1 \equiv x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c_1=0 \\ \text {and } & C_2 \equiv x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c_2=0 \end{aligned}\) Clearly circles are concentric, Clearly, length of tangent is…
