Question

The equation of a circle $${C_1}$$ is $${x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 2y - 11 = 0.$$       A circle $${C_2}$$ of radius 1 rolls on the outside of the circle $${C_1}.$$ The locus of the centre of $${C_2}$$ has the equation :

A. $${x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 2y - 20 = 0$$  
B. $${x^2} + {y^2} + 4x + 2y - 20 = 0$$
C. $${x^2} + {y^2} - 3x - y - 11 = 0$$
D. none of these
Answer :   $${x^2} + {y^2} - 4x - 2y - 20 = 0$$
Solution :
The centre of $${C_1} = \left( {2,\,1} \right)$$   and the radius $$ = \sqrt {{2^2} + {1^2} + 11} = 4$$
If $$\left( {\alpha ,\,\beta } \right)$$  be the centre of $${C_2},\,\,\sqrt {{{\left( {\alpha - 2} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\beta - 1} \right)}^2}} = 4 + 1.$$
