The circles whose equations are x2+y2+c2=2axx^2 + y^2 + c^2 = 2ax and x2+y2+c2−2by=0x^2 + y^2 + c^2 - 2by = 0 will touch one another externally, if a. 1b2+1c2=1a2\frac{1}{b^2} + \frac{1}{c^2} = \frac{1}{a^2} b. 1c2+1a2=1b2\frac{1}{c^2} + \frac{1}{a^2} = \frac{1}{b^2} c. 1a2+1b2=1c2\frac{1}{a^2} + \frac{1}{b^2} = \frac{1}{c^2} d. 1b2+1c2=2a2\frac{1}{b^2} + \frac{1}{c^2} = \frac{2}{a^2}
