Solution

The correct option is B 4
Given circles are
S1:x2+y22x4y=0 and S2:x2+y28yk=0
Now, the centre and radius of the circles are
C1=(1,2), r1=5C2=(0,4), r2=16+k
For the square root to be defined,
16+k>0k>16

Now, C1C2=12+22=5
As both the circles touch internally, so
C1C2=|r1r2|5=|516+k|516+k=±516+k=5±516+k=25,0k=4,16
But k>16
k=4
