Circles of radii `2, 2, 1` touch each other externally. If a circle of radius `r` touches all the three circles externally,then `r` is

A

1.5

B

2

C

2.5

D

3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

formed triangle will be right angle whose sides are 3,4,5
So, circumradius =`("length of hypotenuse")/2=2.5
