\(A(-5,0)\) and \(B(3,0)\) are two vertices of a triangle \(A B C\). Its area is $20 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\(. The vertex \)C\( lies on the line \)x-y=2 .$ The co-ordinates of \(C\) are : (a) \((-3,-5)\) or \((-5,7)\) (b) \((-7,-5)\) or \((3,5)\) (c) \((7,5)\) or \((3,5)\) (d) \((-3,-5)\) or \((7,5)\)
The equations of four circles are \((x \pm a)^{2}+(y \pm a)^{2}=a^{2}\). The radius of a circle touching all the four circles is : (a) \((\sqrt{2}-1) a\) (b) \(2 \sqrt{2} a\) (c) \((\sqrt{2}+1) a\) (d) \((2+\sqrt{2}) a\)
If the point $\left[x_{1}+t\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right),
y_{1}+t\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)\right]\( divides the join of \)\left(x_{1},
y_{1}\right)\( and \)\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)$ internally, then:

The circle \(x^{2}+y^{2}=4\) cuts the circle \(x^{2}+y^{2}+2 x+3 y-5=0\) in \(A\) and \(B\), the centre of the circle \(A B\) as diameter is : (a) \((0,0)\) (b) \(\left(\frac{2}{13}, \frac{3}{13}\right)\) (c) \(\left(\frac{4}{13}, \frac{6}{13}\right)\) (d) \((2,-1)\)
