    The equation of the common tangent of the two touching circles, \[{{y}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}-6x-12y+37=0\] and\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6y+7=0\] is :

    A)  \[x-y-5=0\]       

    B)  \[x-y+5=0\]

    C)  \[c-y-5=0\]        

    D)  \[r+y+5=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let          \[{{S}_{1}}\equiv {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x-12y+37=0\] and        \[{{S}_{2}}\equiv {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6y+7=0\] The equation of common tangent of the two circles is \[{{S}_{1}}-{{S}_{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6x-12y+37\]                 \[-({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-6y+7)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-6x+6y+30=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x-y-5=0\]
