SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 19/02/2018 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q72

Two circles touch each other at point X. A common tangent touch them at two distinct points Y and Z. If another tangent passing through X cut YZ at A and XA= 16 cm, then what is the value (in cm) of YZ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 32

AX = AY = AZ = 16 cm

YZ = 16 + 16 = 32 cm (since length of tangents from A to X and Y are same)
