    Circles \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x-4y=0\] and \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-8y-4=0\] [IIT 1973]

    A)            Touch each other internally

    B)            Touch each other externally

    C)            Cuts each other at two points

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[{{C}_{1}}(1,\ 2),\ {{C}_{2}}(0,\ 4),\ {{R}_{1}}=\sqrt{5},\ {{R}_{2}}=2\sqrt{5}\]                    \[{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}}=\sqrt{5}\] and \[{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}}=\ |{{R}_{2}}-{{R}_{1}}|\]                    Hence circles touch internally.
