The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given line and the circles, and then determine which statement is incorrect. ### Step 1: Identify the given line and circles The line is given by the equation: \[ L_1: 3x - 4y + 1 = 0 \] The centers of the circles are: - Circle \( C_1 \) with center \( A_1(1, 2) \) - Circle \( C_2 \) with center \( A_2(3, 1) \) ### Step 2: Determine the type of tangent The problem states that the line \( L_1 \) touches both circles. We need to determine if it is a direct common tangent or a transverse common tangent. - **Direct Common Tangent (DCT)**: A tangent that touches both circles on the same side. - **Transverse Common Tangent (TCT)**: A tangent that touches both circles on opposite sides. ### Step 3: Calculate the distance from the centers to the line We will use the formula for the distance \( d \) from a point \( (x_1, y_1) \) to a line \( ax + by + c = 0 \): \[ d = \frac{|ax_1 + by_1 + c|}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} \] #### For Circle \( C_1 \) at \( A_1(1, 2) \): - \( a = 3, b = -4, c = 1 \) \[ d_1 = \frac{|3(1) - 4(2) + 1|}{\sqrt{3^2 + (-4)^2}} = \frac{|3 - 8 + 1|}{\sqrt{9 + 16}} = \frac{|-4|}{5} = \frac{4}{5} \] #### For Circle \( C_2 \) at \( A_2(3, 1) \): \[ d_2 = \frac{|3(3) - 4(1) + 1|}{\sqrt{3^2 + (-4)^2}} = \frac{|9 - 4 + 1|}{5} = \frac{|6|}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \] ### Step 4: Identify the radii of the circles Since the line is a tangent to both circles, the distances calculated above represent the radii of the circles: - Radius of circle \( C_1 \) is \( R_1 = \frac{4}{5} \) - Radius of circle \( C_2 \) is \( R_2 = \frac{6}{5} \) ### Step 5: Analyze the statements Now we need to analyze the statements regarding the tangents and the radii: 1. **Statement A**: \( L_1 \) is a Direct Common Tangent of Circles. 2. **Statement B**: \( L_1 \) is a Transverse Common Tangent of Circles. 3. **Statement C**: Radius of \( C_1 \) is \( \frac{4}{5} \) units. 4. **Statement D**: Radius of \( C_2 \) is \( \frac{6}{5} \) units. ### Step 6: Determine the incorrect statement From our analysis: - Since the line \( L_1 \) touches the circles on opposite sides, it is a **Transverse Common Tangent** (Statement B is correct). - The radii calculated are correct (Statements C and D are correct). - Therefore, **Statement A** is incorrect. ### Final Answer The incorrect statement is: **A. \( L_1 \) is a Direct Common Tangent of Circles.**
