There are two circles C1 and C2 of radii...

There are two circles `C_1` and `C_2` of radii `r_1` and `r_2`, respectively. They are mutually tangent to each other and to a line as well. There is one more circle of radius `r_3` which is tangent to this line and first two circles `C_1` and `C_2`. What is the relation between the three radii `r_1, r_2` and `r_3` ?

A

`1/sqrtr_1+1/sqrtr_2=1/sqrtr_3`

B

`sqrtr_1/sqrtr_2+sqrtr_2/sqrtr_1=1/sqrtr_3`

C

`1/sqrtr_3+1/sqrtr_1+1/sqrtr_2`

D

none of these
