Let there be `ngeq3` circles in a plane. The value of `n` for which the number of radical centers is equal to the number of radical axes is (assume that all radical axes and radical centers exist and are different). a. `7` b. `6` c. `5` d. none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since a radical axis is generated by two circles and a radical centre is obtained from three circles. Therefore,
Number of radical axes `=.^(n)C_(2)`,
Number of radical centres`=.^(n)C_(3)`
It is given that`.^(n)C_(2)=.^(n)C_(3)rArr n=5`.
