Correct answer: C
- Interpret the sets as circles/discs
We rewrite each equation in standard form.
Set
Given Divide by : Complete squares: So is the circle with center
Set
Given Divide by : Complete square in : So is the circle with center
Set
Given Complete squares: So is the disc centered at with radius .
We need the minimum value of such that both circles and lie entirely inside this disc.
- Condition for a circle to lie inside the disc
If a circle has center at distance from and radius , then it is fully contained in iff So we compute this for and .
- Containment of inside
Distance between centers:
=\sqrt{\left(\frac32\right)^2+\left(\frac12\right)^2} =\sqrt{\frac94+\frac14} =\sqrt{\frac{10}{4}} =\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}$$ Hence required radius to contain $A$ is $$d_A+R_A=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}+1=\frac{2+\sqrt{10}}{2}$$ --- 4. **Containment of $B$ inside $C$** Distance between centers: $$d_B=\sqrt{(2-0)^2+(1-2)^2}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt5$$ Hence required radius to contain $B$ is $$d_B+R_B=\sqrt5+\frac32=\frac{3+2\sqrt5}{2}$$ --- 5. **Containment of $A\cup B$ inside $C$** To contain both, we need $$|r|\ge \max\left(\frac{2+\sqrt{10}}{2},\frac{3+2\sqrt5}{2}\right)$$ Now compare: $$\frac{2+\sqrt{10}}{2}\approx \frac{2+3.162}{2}\approx 2.581$$ $$\frac{3+2\sqrt5}{2}\approx \frac{3+4.472}{2}\approx 3.736$$ So the minimum value is $$|r|_{\min}=\frac{3+2\sqrt5}{2}$$ --- 6. **Option check** This matches **Option C**.More from Circle
