Solution

The correct option is D $P_{5}$
Points that lie in the interior of a circle cannot be used to draw tangents to that circle.
Hence, $P_{5}$ is a point common to both circles from which no tangent can be drawn.

In given figure C1 and C2 are two circles and points P1,P2,P3,P4,P5 are noted. From which point no tangent is possible to both C1 and C2

The correct option is D P5Points that lie in the interior of a circle cannot be used to draw tangents to that circle.Hence, P5 is a point common to both circles from which no tangent can be drawn.
