A circle $C$ of radius $2$ lies in the second quadrant and touches both the coordinate axes. Let $r$ be the radius of a circle that has centre at the point $(2,5)$ and intersects the circle $C$ at exactly two points. If the set of all possible values of $r$ is the interval $(\alpha, \beta)$, then $3 \beta-2 \alpha$ is equal to :
