Solution

The correct options are
A C1 touches C2 if c=12
B C1 cuts orthogonally to C2 if c=0
C (2,1) lies outside of both the circles if c>6
C1:x2+y2+2x+c=0 and C2:x2+y2+2y+c=0
Centre and radius of the circle
c1=(1,0), r1=1cc2=(0,1), r2=1c

Distance between the centres
=12+12=2
Sum of radii
=1c+1c=21c
Condition for the two circles to touch is,
Distance between centre = Sum of radii
So,
21c=2c=12

C1 and C2 intersects orthognally
2g1g2+2f1f2=c1+c20+0=2cc=0

(2,1) lies outside C1
22+12+2×2+c>0c>9
(2,1) lies outside C2
22+12+2×1+c>0c>6
Therefore, when c>6 the point (2,1) lies outside of both the circle.

Radical axis of C1 and C2
C1C2=0x2+y2+2x+c(x2+y2+2y+c)=02x2y=0
Hence, (1,1) doesn't lies on the radical axis.
