Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let equation of circle touches the positive coordinate axes having radius \(r\) is \((x-r)^2+(y-r)^2=r^2\) \(\because\) The circle (i) touches the another given circle \(x^2+y^2-12 x-10 y+52=0\) externally then \(c_1 c_2=r_1+r_2\) Where \(c_1(r, r), c_2(6,5), r_1=r\) and…
