Two parallel chords of a circle of radius $2$ are at a distance $\sqrt{3}+1$ apart. If the chords subtend at the centre,angles of $\frac{\pi}{k}$ and $\frac{2 \pi}{k}$,where $k>0$,then the value of $[k]$ is [Note : $[k]$ denotes the largest integer less than or equal to $k$ ].

If the equation of the circle whose radius is $\sqrt{10}$ and which touches the circle $x^2+y^2+2x+8y-23=0$ externally at the point $(1,2)$ is $x^2+y^2+ax+by+c=0$,then $|a+b+c|=$

If a point $P(\alpha, \beta)$ on the line $y=1$ is such that the two distinct chords drawn on $x^2+y^2-\alpha x-y=0$ from $P$ are bisected by the $x$-axis,then

Let $G$ be a circle of radius $R>0$. Let $G_1, G_2, \ldots, G_n$ be $n$ circles of equal radius $r>0$. Suppose each of the $n$ circles $G_1, G_2, \ldots, G_n$ touches the circle $G$ externally. Also,for $i=1,2, \ldots, n-1$,the circle $G_i$ touches $G_{i+1}$ externally,and $G_n$ touches $G_1$ externally. Then,which of the following statements is/are $TRUE$?
$(A)$ If $n=4$,then $(\sqrt{2}-1)r < R$
$(B)$ If $n=5$,then $r < R$
$(C)$ If $n=8$,then $(\sqrt{2}-1)r < R$
$(D)$ If $n=12$,then $\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)r > R$

If the ratio of the lengths of the tangents drawn from the point $(1, 2)$ to the circles $x^2 + y^2 + x + y - 4 = 0$ and $3x^2 + 3y^2 - x - y + k = 0$ is $4 : 3$,then $k = \dots$

The least distance of the point $(10, 7)$ from the circle $x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 2y - 20 = 0$ is
