Statement $(A) :$ If two circles $x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy = 0$ and $x^2 + y^2 + 2g'x + 2f'y = 0$ touch each other,then $f'g = fg'$.
Reason $(R) :$ Two circles touch each other if the line joining their centers is perpendicular to all possible common tangents.

  • A
    $A$ and $R$ are both independently true and $R$ is the correct explanation for $A$.
  • B
    $A$ and $R$ are both independently true but $R$ is not the correct explanation for $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
