Q.

Let 𝐺 be a circle of radius 𝑅 > 0. Let 𝐺1, 𝐺2,…, 𝐺𝑛 be 𝑛 circles of equal radius 𝑟 > 0. Suppose each of the 𝑛 circles 𝐺1, 𝐺2,…, 𝐺𝑛 touches the circle 𝐺 externally. Also, for 𝑖 = 1, 2,…, 𝑛 − 1, the circle 𝐺𝑖 touches 𝐺𝑖+1 externally, and 𝐺𝑛 touches 𝐺1 externally. Then, which of the following statements is/are TRUE ?
