Question

If the two circles (x -1)2 + ( y - 3)2 = r2 and x2 + y2 -8x + 2y + 8 = 0 intersect in two distinct points. then

Options

A.2 < r < 8
B.r < 2
C.r = 2
D.r > 2

Solution

As, the two circles intersect in two distinct points.
⇒ distance between centres lies between |r1 - r2| and |r1 + r2|
ie,    
⇒     |r - 3 | < 5 < | r + 3 |
⇒     r < 8 or r > 2
∴     2 < r < 8
