Given two circles \(\quad x^2+y^2+8 x-6 y-24=0 \quad\) and \(x^2+y^2-4 x+10 y+20=0\). Then they are

  1. A Disjoint.
  2. B Concentric,
  3. C Touching internally
  4. D Touching externally.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Touching externally.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( x^2+y^2+8 x-6 y-24=0, C_1 \equiv(-4,3), r_1=7 \)
\( x^2+y^2-4 x+10 y+20=0, C_2 \equiv(2,-5), r_2=3 \)
\( C_1 C_2=\sqrt{(2+4)^2+(-5-3)^2}=10 \text { and } r_1+r_2=7\)\(+3=10\)
\(\because C_1 C_2=r_1+r_2\) hence, the tow circles touching externally
