  • 11

  • - 11

  • 24

  • 100


172.

The eccentricity of the ellipse, which meets the straight line x7 + y2 = 1 on the axis of x and the staraight line x3 - y5 = 1 on the axis of y and whose axes lie along the axes of coordinate, is

  • 327

The number of common tangents to the circles x2 + y2 = 4 and x2 + y2 - 6x - 8y = 24 is

  • 0

  • 1

  • 3

  • 4


B.

1

The centres of the given circles x2 + y2 = 4 and x2 + y2 - 6x - 8y = 24 are C1(0, 0) and C2(3, 4) respectively. Their radii are r1 = 2 and r2 = 7 respectively.

We have, C1C2 = 5 < sum of radii

But C1C2 = difference of radii

Thus, the given circles touch each other internally.

Hence, the number of common tangent is only one.
