Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((22,-4)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The direct common tangents to two circles meet on the line of centres and divide it externally in the ratio of the radii centres of the two circles are \((-11,2)\) and \((11,-2)\) and their radii are 15 and 5 . \(\therefore\) Point of intersection…
