Q11 of 31 Page 218

The lengths of radii of two circles are 5cm and 3cm. The two circles touch each other externally. The distance between two centers of two circle is

Since the two circles touch each other externally so the distance between the two centre is always added


Distance between the two centre = (5 + 3) = 8 cm .


So the correct Option is D
