The least distance between the circles `|z|=12` and `|z-3-4i|=5` , is

A

0

B

2

C

7

D

17

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Let `z_(1)` be the affix of a point on `|z|=12` and `z_(2)` be that of on `|z-3-4i|=5`. Then,
`|z_(1)|=12` and `|z_(2)-3-4i|=5`
Now, `|z_(1)-z_(2)|=|z_(1)-(z_(2)-3-4i)-(3+4i)|`
`rArr |z_(1)-z_(2)| ge |z_(1)|-|z_(2)-3-4i|-|3+4i|`
`|z_(1)-z_(2)| le 12-5-5=2`
