Detailed Solution

Given circles are x2+y2=a2(1)
x2+y2=b2..(2)x2+y2=c2(3)
All are concentric. Let P(x1, y1) be any point on circle (1)
Polar of P(x1, y1)wrt circle (2) is S1= 0
xx1+yy1b2=0 ...(4)
Question Image
It touches circle (3)
er distance from centre c(0,0) to line (4) = radius r of circle (3)
d=r
|C|a2+b2=r b2x12+y12=c
 Radius of circle (3) is c& centre is (0,0)
b2a2=c x12+y12=a2b2a=cb2=aca,b,c are in G.P
