Solution

The correct option is D $3$
All the points that lie in the exterior of $C_{2}$ can be used to draw 2 tangents each to it.
Hence, $P_{1}, P_{2}$ and $P_{4}$ i.e. 3 points.

In given figure C1 and C2 are two circles and points P1,P2,P3,P4,P5 are noted. How many points are there from which no. of tangents drawn to C2 are 2

The correct option is D 3All the points that lie in the exterior of C2 can be used to draw 2 tangents each to it.Hence, P1,P2 and P4 i.e. 3 points.
