Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 5. (c)

Solution:

  1. Circle I is x2+y216x20y+164=r2

(x8)2+(y10)2=r2

C1(8,10) is the centre of Istcircle and r1=r is its radius Circle II is (x4)2+(y7)2=36

C2(4,7) is the centre of 2 nd circle and r2=6 is its radius.

Two circles intersect if |r1r2|<C1C2<r1+r2

|r6|<(84)2+(107)2<r+6

|r6|<16+9<r+6

|r6|<5<r+6

Now as, 5<r+6 always, we have to solve only

|r6|<55<r6<5

65<r<5+61<r<11
