The difference between the radii of the largest and smallest circles which have their centre on the circumference of the circle x2+y2+2x+4y−4=0x^2 + y^2 + 2x + 4y - 4 = 0 and pass through the point (a,b)(a, b) lying outside the given circle is a. 6 b. (a+1)2+(b+2)2\sqrt{(a+1)^2 + (b+2)^2} c. 3 d. (a+1)2+(b+2)2−3\sqrt{(a+1)^2 + (b+2)^2} - 3
