Q.If two circles with diameters of 5 cm and 7 cm touch each other internally, then the distance between their centers is — (a) 1 cm (b) 2 cm (c) 3 cm (d) 4 cm
Answer: A
The radii of the two circles are respectively \(\frac{5}{2}\) cm = 2.5 cm and \(\frac{7}{2}\) cm = 3.5 cm. If the circles touch each other internally, then the distance between their centers = the difference of their radii \[ = (3.5 - 2.5) \text{ cm} = 1 \text{ cm} \]
