Let the point $B$ be the reflection of the point $A(2,3)$ with respect to the line $8x-6y-23=0$. Let $\Gamma_A$ and $\Gamma_B$ be circles of radii $2$ and $1$ with centres $A$ and $B$ respectively. Let $T$ be a common tangent to the circles $\Gamma_A$ and $\Gamma_B$ 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.

If a line drawn from a fixed point $M(a, b)$ cuts the circle $x^2+y^2=k^2$ at $C$ and $D$,then $MC \times MD$ is equal to

Consider the region $R = \{( x , y ) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} : x \geq 0 \text{ and } y^2 \leq 4- x \}$. Let $F$ be the family of all circles that are contained in $R$ and have centers on the $x$-axis. Let $C$ be the circle that has the largest radius among the circles in $F$. Let $(\alpha, \beta)$ be a point where the circle $C$ meets the curve $y^2=4- x$.

Find the equation of the circle which touches the $X$-axis at a distance of $+3$ from the origin and cuts an intercept of $8$ on the positive $Y$-axis.

If the circles $S \equiv x^2+y^2-14x+6y+33=0$ and $S' \equiv x^2+y^2-a^2=0$ where $a \in \mathbb{N}$ have $4$ common tangents,then the possible number of values of $a$ is:

From a point $P$ on the line $4x - 3y = 6$,two tangents are drawn to the circle $x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 4y + 4 = 0$. If the angle between these tangents is $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{24}{7}\right)$,then $P$ can be:
