Equation of a common tangent to x^(2)+y^...

Equation of a common tangent to `x^(2)+y^(2)=16" and "9x^(2)+25y^(2)=225` is :

A

`3x+2y=5`

B

`sqrt(7x)+3y=16`

C

`x+sqrt(7)y=6`

D

`sqrt(7)x-sqrt(11)y=2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`{:(because,a.b.c" are in A.P.",implies,a+c=2b,implies,1+(c)/(a)-(2b)/(a)=0),(implies,1+alphabeta+2(alpha+beta)=0,implies,1+99+2(alpha+beta)=0,implies,alpha+beta=-50):}`
