If the circles

x^2+y^2=4

and

x^2+y^2-8 x+12=0

touch each other, then the equation of their common tangent at the point, where they touch, is given by

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

x=2

Option C (

x=2

) is correct because the equation of the common tangent is found by subtracting the equations of the two circles, which touch each other externally.
