Solution

The correct option is D r1r2r1+r2
When two circle touches externally as shown in fig (i)
When two circle touches internally as shown in fig (ii)
A variable circle S touches S1:|zz2|=r1 internally and S1:|zz2|=r1 externally
A necessary and sufficient condition for the two circles to intersect at two distinct points is
where C1,{C}_{2} arethecentersandr1r2 be the radii of two circles.
If two circles with centers C1(x1,y1)andC2(x2,y2) and radii r1andr2 respectively , touch each other externally,
=[(r1x2+r2x1r1+r2)],[(r1y2+r2y1r1+r2)]
The circle touch each other internally if C1C2=r1r2
The circle touch each other externally if C1C2=r1+r2
Eccentricity of the locus of the center = r1r2r1+r2
