Solve this also 52.
Three Circles with centres C1, C2, C3 and radii r1,r2 , r3,  where r1<r2 < r3 are placed as shown in the figure.

Then r2 = __________
(1) ( 1 )   r 3 - r 1                                     ( 2 )   r 3 + r 1                                     ( 3 )   r 3 r 1                                       ( 4 )   r 3 2 - r 1 2

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:


In PC1A,PC2B,PC3Cone angle is 90° and angle Pis common, hencePC1A,PC2B,PC3C will be similar.Hence for PC1A and PC2BPAr1=PBr2PAPB=r1r2...iFor PC2B and PC3CPBr2=PCr3PBPC=r2r3....iiBut  we know that if tangents are drawn from an external point Pto three circles which touch the circle at A, B and C respectively, then  PAPB=PBPC  Use i and ii  r1r2= r2r3    r22=r1r3r2=r1r3
