Detailed Solution

Given a circle completely inside other circle.
Question Image

If one circle is completely inside another circle, it is not possible to draw any common tangents as if a point is inside the circle, then that point cannot be on the tangent.
Thus, it is not possible to draw a common tangent to two circles if one circle is inside the other circle.
Thus, there will be no common tangents.
Therefore, option (3) is correct.
