Let $$A = \{ (x,y) \in R \times R|2{x^2} + 2{y^2} - 2x - 2y = 1\} $$, $$B = \{ (x,y) \in R \times R|4{x^2} + 4{y^2} - 16y + 7 = 0\} $$ and $$C = \{ (x,y) \in R \times R|{x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 2y + 5 \le {r^2}\} $$.

Then the minimum value of |r| such that $$A \cup B \subseteq C$$ is equal to

Let the circle S : 36x² + 36y² $$-$$ 108x + 120y + C = 0 be such that it neither intersects nor touches the co-ordinate axes. If the point of intersection of the lines, x $$-$$ 2y = 4 and 2x $$-$$ y = 5 lies inside the circle S, then :

Let r₁ and r₂ be the radii of the largest and smallest circles, respectively, which pass through the point ($$-$$4, 1) and having their centres on the circumference of the circle x² + y² + 2x + 4y $$-$$ 4 = 0. If $${{{r_1}} \over {{r_2}}} = a + b\sqrt 2 $$, then a + b is equal to :

Let S₁ : x² + y² = 9 and S₂ : (x $$-$$ 2)² + y² = 1. Then the locus of center of a variable circle S which touches S₁ internally and S₂ externally always passes through the points :
