Let G be a circle of radius R>0. Let G1,G2,,Gn be n circles of equal radius r>0. Suppose each of the n circles G1,G2,,Gn touches the circle G externally. Also, for i=1,2,,n-1, the circle Gi touches Gi+1 externally, and Gn touches G1 externally. Then, which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

  1. A If n=4, then 2-1r<R
  2. B If n=5, then r<R
  3. C If n=8, then 2-1r<R
  4. D If n=12, then 23+1r>R
