Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x^{2}+y^{2}-8 x-6 y+9=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, equation of circle
\[
x^{2}+y^{2}=1
\]



Centre at \(\mathrm{O} \rightarrow(0,0)\)
Radius \(=\mathrm{OA}=1\)
Also, the centre of another circle \(\rightarrow C(4,3)\) both circle touch externally. Then, distance between centres \(=\) OC.
\[
=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(3-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{16-9}=5
\]
Now,
\(\mathrm{AC}=\mathrm{OC}-\mathrm{OA}\)
\[
A C=5-1=4
\]
So, the radius of other circle is 4 .
Now, the equation of other circle touch externally to the circle \(\mathrm{x}^{2}+\mathrm{y}^{2}=1\) is,
\[
\begin{gathered}
(x-4)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=16 \\
\Rightarrow \quad x^{2}+y^{2}-8 x-6 y+9=0
\end{gathered}
\]
