The correct options are
A centre of C is at the centre of the given circles
B a2+b2=16
Let a>b
Let the first circles be x2+y2=a2 and x2+y2=b2.
Let t1 and t2 be the length of the tangents drawn from P(h,k).
As per the given conditions,
t1×a=t2×b -- (i)
By Pythagoras theorem,
t21=h2+k2−a2
t22=h2+k2−b2
Squaring (i) ,
t21a2=t22b2
(h2+k2−a2)a2=(h2+k2−b2)b2
(h2+k2)(a2−b2)=a4−b4
h2+k2=a2+b2
Since the area is 16π, the radius is equal to 4
Hence,
a2+b2=16
Also, C is the centre of the circle
Hence, options A and C are correct.
