Detailed Solution

Equations of the given circles can be written as C1: (x – 1)2 + (y –3)2 = 1 having centre at (1, 3) and radius 1 and C2: (x + 3)2 + (y –1)2 = 9 having centre at (–3, 1) and radius 3.Both the circles clearly touch x = 0 and y = 4 Now        3×1+4×3−1032+42=1and         3(−3)+4(1)−1032+42=3Shows that both the circles touch 3x + 4y = 10 also.
