Answered by bansal22luvi@gmail.com last updated on 12/Jan/17

let the radius of smallest circle be r  CO=(2−x)  C_1 O=(1+x)  C_1 C=1  In ΔOCC_1   CO^2 +CC_1 ^2 =C_1 O^2   (2−x)^2 +1=(1+x)^2   ov solving the equation  x=(2/3)  kush

C_1 O=1+x  CO=2−x  C_1 O^2 =C_1 C^2 +CO^2   (1+x)^2 =1^2 +(2−x)^2   1+2x+x^2 =1+4−4x+x^2   6x=4  x=(2/3)  ⇒Answer (3) is correct.

$$\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{O}=\mathrm{1}+{x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{CO}=\mathrm{2}−{x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{O}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{CO}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}+{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\mathrm{2}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}{x}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{4}−\mathrm{4}{x}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{6}{x}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{Answer}\:\left(\mathrm{3}\right)\:{is}\:{correct}. \\ $$
