Let the point B be the reflection of the point A(2,3) with respect to the line 8x - 6y - 23 = 0. Let ΓA and ΓB be circles of radii 2 and 1 with centres A and B respectively. Let T be a common tangent to the circles ΓA and ΓB such that both the circles are on the same side of T. If C is the point of intersection of T and the line passing through A and B, then the length of the line segment AC is ________.
10.00
Solution:
Correct option is A. 10.00 AL = |16 - 18 - 23|/10 = 5 2CB = CA - 5 CA = 2CB = 10
