Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( (x-r)^2 + (y-r)^2 = r^2 \) \( (1-r)^2 + (2-r)^2 = r^2 \) \( 1 - 2r + r^2 + 4 - 4r + r^2 = r^2 \) \( r^2 - 6r + 5 = 0 \) \( (r-1)(r-5) = 0 \Rightarrow r_1=1, r_2=5 \) Circle 1: \( (x-1)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 1 \) Circle 2: \( (x-5)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 25 \) Subtracting C1 from C2:…
