Answer 1

$\huge{Question}$

If two circle intersect each other at two points , then find the number of commom tangents

a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 0

$\huge{finding}$

The common tangents which can be drawn if two circles are touching externally at a single point = 3

Step-by-step explanation :

For better understanding of the solution see the attached figure of the problem :

When the two circles are touching externally only at a one point.

The one tangent will be at the point of touching where the two circles are touching each other

The second tangent will be at the bottom which will touch both the circle

The third tangent will be at the top which will also passes by touching both  the circles

$\fbox{Therefore}$

The common tangents which can be drawn if two circles are touching externally at a single point = 3
