Let $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ be the radii of the largest and smallest circles,respectively,which pass through the point $(-4, 1)$ and have their centres on the circumference of the circle $x^{2} + y^{2} + 2x + 4y - 4 = 0$. If $\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = a + b \sqrt{2}$,then $a + b$ is equal to:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $11$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $7$

$A$ circle passes through the point $\left( 3, \sqrt{\frac{7}{2}} \right)$ and touches the line pair $x^2 - y^2 - 2x + 1 = 0$. The coordinates of the centre of the circle are:

The focus of the parabola $y^2 = 4x + 16$ is the centre of the circle $C$ of radius $5$. If the values of $\lambda$,for which $C$ passes through the point of intersection of the lines $3x - y = 0$ and $x + \lambda y = 4$,are $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ (where $\lambda_1 < \lambda_2$),then $12\lambda_1 + 29\lambda_2$ is equal to . . . . . . .

Three concentric circles,of which the biggest is $x^2 + y^2 = 1$,have their radii in $A.P.$ If the line $y = x + 1$ cuts all the circles in real and distinct points,the interval in which the common difference $d$ of the $A.P.$ will lie is:
