Question

    Two circles of radii 10 cm and 5 cm touch each other

    externally at a point A. PQ is the direct common tangent of those two circles of centres O ₁ and O ₂ respectively. The length of PQ is equal to
    A 10√2 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8√2 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9√2 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6√2 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Direct common tangent = 2 × √ (r ₁ × r2) 2 x √ (10 x 5) =10√ 2 cm
