Questions  

Tangents are drawn from a point on the circle 

x2+y24x+6y37=0     to the circle   x2+y24x+6y12=0

The angle between the tangents, is 

a
π4
b
π3
c
π6
d
π2

detailed solution

Correct option is D

the equations of the circles are:  (x−2)2+(y+3)2=(52)2                            .......(i)and (x−2)2+(y+3)2=52                                (ii)Clearly, (i) is the direction circle of (ii). So, required angle is π2
