The number of common tangents to the circles one of which passes through the origin and cuts off intercepts 2 from each of the axes and the other circle has the segment joining the origin and the point

(1,1)

as a diameter, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

1

Option B (1) is correct because the distance between the centers of the two circles is equal to the difference of their radii, indicating they touch internally, hence one common tangent.
