    Two circles touch internally. The sum of their areas is \[116\pi \,c{{m}^{2}}\] and the distance between their centres is\[\text{6 cm}\]. The radii of the circles, are: (CBSE 2017)

    A) \[\text{4 cm},\text{1}0\text{ cm}\]

    B) \[\text{2 cm},6\text{ cm}\]

    C) \[\text{3 cm},5\text{ cm}\]

    D) \[\text{5 cm},8\text{ cm}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let \[{{r}_{1}}\] be the radius of the bigger circle and \[{{r}_{2}}\] be the radius of the smaller circle.
    It is given that the two circles touch each other internally.
    \[\therefore \] Difference between their radii
    = Distance between the centres of the two circles.
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}}=6\,cm\]  ...(1)  \[[{{r}_{1}}>{{r}_{2}}]\]
    Also, sum of their areas \[=116\pi \,c{{m}^{2}}\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\pi r_{1}^{2}+\pi r_{2}^{2}=116\pi \]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,r_{1}^{2}+r_{2}^{2}=116\]              ….(2)
    From eq. (1) and (2), we get
    \[{{({{r}_{2}}+6)}^{2}}+r_{2}^{2}=116\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,r_{2}^{2}+36+12{{r}_{2}}+r_{2}^{2}=116\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2r_{2}^{2}+12{{r}_{2}}-80=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,r_{2}^{2}+6{{r}_{2}}-40=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{r}_{2}}+10{{r}_{2}}-4{{r}_{2}}-40=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{r}_{2}}({{r}_{2}}+10)-4({{r}_{2}}+10)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,({{r}_{2}}+10)\,\,({{r}_{2}}-4)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{r}_{2}}=-10,4\]
    Since, the radius of a circle cannot be negative.
    So, \[{{r}_{2}}=4cm\]               \[[{{r}_{2}}\ne \,\,-10]\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,{{r}_{1}}=6+{{r}_{2}}=6+4=10\,cm\]
    Thus, the radii of the circles are \[4\,cm\] and \[10\,cm\].
