The locus of the centre of a circle, which touches externally the circle $${x^2} + {y^2} - 6x - 6y + 14 = 0$$ and also touches the y-axis, is given by the equation:

Find the coordinates of the point at which the circles $${x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,4x - \,2y = - 4\,\,and\,\,{x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,12x - \,8y = - 36$$ touch each other. Also find equations common tangests touching the circles in the distinct points.

Consider a family of circles passing through two fixed points A (3, 7) and B (6, 5). Show that the chords on which the circle $${x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,4x - \,6y - 3 = 0$$ cuts the members of the family are concurrent at a point. Find the coordinate of this point.

If in a triangle $$ABC$$, $${{2\cos A} \over a} + {{\cos B} \over b} + {{2\cos C} \over c} = {a \over {bc}} + {b \over {ca}},$$ then the value of the angle $$A$$ is .................... degrees.
