The centers of the circles touching both the coordinate axes lies on the line

x – y = 0 or x + y = 0 according to the quadrant in which the circle lies.

Based on this data answer the following 2 questions.

A) If the difference between the radii of the circles passing through (a, b) and touching the axes is c>0 and a, b >  0 then the least value of a + b is

As the circles touches the axes so, the point of intersection will always lie on axis.
So either x coordinate or y coordinate will be zero.
And the length of common cord will also bezero.
 
Only option (4) satisfies the above two conditions.

SIR PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTIONS : 1. Find the equation of the tangent to the circle x^2+y^2=16 drawn from the point (1,4). 2. How many triangles can be formed by joining any 3 of the 9 points when i) no 3 of them  are collinear? ii) 5 of them are collinear? 3. AB is a line of fixed length, 6 units, joining the points A(t,0) and B which lies on thepositive y axis. P is a point on AB distant 2 units from A. Express the coordinates of B and P in terms of t. Find the locus of P as t varies. 4. In a triangle ABC, (b^2 - c^2) / (b^2 + c^2) = sin(B - C) / sin(B + C), prove that it is either a right-angled or isoceles triangle.

A stadium is in circular shape. Within the stadium some areas have been allotted for a hockey court and a javelin range, as given in the figure. Assume the shape of the hockey court and the javelin range to be square and triangle, resp. The curators would like to accommodate a few more sports in the stadium. Help them by measuring the unallocated region within the stadium.(the radius of the stadium is 200 mts.)
