[EAMCET 1994]
Options:
A) These circles touch each other
B) One of these circles lies entirely inside the other
C) Each of these circles lies outside the other

Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Centres and radii of the given circles are Centres: $ C_1(0,\ 1),\ C_2(1,\ 0) $ ; Radii : $ r_1=3,\ r_2=5 $ .
Clearly, $ C_1C_2=\sqrt{2}<(r_2-r_1) $ . Therefore one circle lies entirely inside the other.
