$A$ circle $C$ of radius $2$ lies in the second quadrant and touches both the coordinate axes. Let $r$ be the radius of a circle that has its centre at the point $(2, 5)$ and intersects the circle $C$ at exactly two points. If the set of all possible values of $r$ is the interval $(\alpha, \beta)$,then $3 \beta - 2 \alpha$ is equal to:

  • A
    $15$
  • B
    $14$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $10$
