Instructions
Directions for the following three questions: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below
In the adjoining figure I and II are circles with centres P and Q respectively, The two circles touch each other and have common tangent that touches them at points R and S respectively. This common tangent meets the line joining P and Q at O. The diameters of I and II are in the ratio 4: 3. It is also known that the length of PO is 28 cm.
Solution
Let the radius of circles I and II be 4R and 3R respectively.
Triangles PRO and QSO are similar.
PR/QS = 4/3.
Therefore, PO/QO = PR/QS
=> PO/QO = 4/3
=> 28/(28-7R) = 4/3
=> 4-R = 3
=> R = 1
Radius of smaller circle = 3R = 3
