Two circles of radii 5 cm and 3cm touch externally, then the ratio in which the direct common tangent to the circles divides externally the line joining the centers of the circles is:
-
- 5 : 3
- 3 : 5
- 2.5 : 1.5
- 1.5 : 2.5
- 5 : 3
Correct Option: A
According to question , we draw a figure of two circles with radii 5 cm and 3cm touch externally
Given that , Two circles of radii are 5 cm and 3cm
| Required ratio = | = 5 : 3 | |
| r2 |
