Q.
Let ABCD be a square of side of unit length. Let a circle C1centered at A with unit radius is drawn. Another circle C2 which touches C1 and the lines AD and AB are tangent to it, is also drawn. Let a tangent line from the point C to the circle meet the side AB at E. If the length of EB is α+3β, where α, β are integers, then α+ β is equal to _________

Detailed Solution
Consider the figure as show below Let Pr,r be the center of the circle C2From figure: Radius of C1−AP=Radius of C21−2r=rr1+2=1r=12+1=2−1, ∴P2−1,2−1From triangle CPQsinC=PQPC=2−122−1=12In triangle CPQ, ∠C=30°Hence, in triangle CEB, ∠C=15°tan15°=EBBC=EB1EB=2−3α+β=1
