Q.

C,C1  and  C2  are circles of radii 5,3, and 2, respectively. C1 and C2  touch each other externally and C internally. If the radius of circle C3  which touches C internally and  C1 and  C2 externally is ‘r’ then r (where · = g.i.f)

Question Image 
Let O,O1,O2,  and O3  be the centers of the circles C,C1C2,  and  C3, respectively, and r  the required radius of  C3.
O1O=2,OO2=3,O1O3=r+3,OO3=5r,O2O3=r+2
Applying cosine rule in ΔO3OO1,  we get
cosθ=(5r)2+22(r+3)22(5r)(2)
Applying cosine rule in ΔO2OO3,  we get
cos(πθ)=(5r)2+32(r+2)22(5r)(3)
Eliminating θ , we get r = 30/19.
