Step-by-Step Solution
Internally touching circles have exactly 1 common tangent, drawn at the point of contact. Meena is wrong.
Answer: A) 1
A small circle is drawn completely inside a larger circle so that they touch each other at exactly one point (internal touch).
Meena claims she can draw 3 common tangents to the two circles, just like the externally touching case.
What is the correct number of common tangents?
