Important Questions on Interaction between Two Circles
Two circles touch each other internally. The radii of these circles are and respectively. Find the length of the largest chord of the outer circle which touches the internal circle at a point?

The centres of two circles and each of unit radius are at a distance of units from each other. Let be the midpoint of the line segment joining the centres of and and be a circle touching circles and externally. If a common tangent to and passing through is also a common tangent to and , then the radius (in units) of the circle is
