Give the answer for questions $1, 2$ and $3$.

Statement $1$: The only circle having radius $\sqrt{10}$ and a diameter along the line $2x + y = 5$ is $x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 2y = 0$.
Statement $2$: $2x + y = 5$ is a normal to the circle $x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 2y = 0$.

The length of the diameter of a circle which touches the $x$-axis at the point $(1, 0)$ and passes through the point $(2, -3)$ is:

The figure shows $\Delta ABC$ with $AB = 3, AC = 4$ and $BC = 5$. Three circles $S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ have their centers at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively and they touch each other externally. The sum of the areas of the three circles is: (in $\pi$)

Consider the region $R = \{( x , y ) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} : x \geq 0 \text{ and } y^2 \leq 4- x \}$.
