State True or False in each of the following statements.

Question 12

$$r_1$$, $$r_2$$ are the radii of two circles passing through the centres of one another. If $$3r_1 + r_2 = 15$$ then $$r_1$$ is equal to $$\frac{15}{4}$$


Correct Answer: True

Solution

Let the distance between the centres be $$d$$. The first circle passes through the second centre, so $$d = r_1$$, and the second passes through the first centre, so $$d = r_2$$. Hence $$r_1 = r_2$$, and $$3r_1 + r_1 = 15$$ gives $$r_1 = \frac{15}{4}$$. The statement is True.
