2. Let the point B be the reflection of the point A(2, 3) with respect to the line 8x – 6y – 23 = 0. Let  A and  B

be circle of radii 2 and 1 with centres A and B respectively. Let T be a common tangent to the circle  A and

 B such that both the circle are on the same side of T. If C is the point of intersection of T and the line passing
through A and B, then the length of the line segment AC is ________

Solution:

Now ∆APC and BQC are similarly
