r1 is 6, r2 is 8
so PQ length is 8+6 = 14

Question:

In the given figure, ACB is a right angled triangle. CD is the altitude. Circles are inscribed within the  ΔACD    and  ΔBCD   .P and Q are the centers of the circles. The distance PQ is:

    

Options:
A)

150   

B)

50   

C)

14

D)

102   

Solution:

In right angle  ΔABC   ,

AB =  302+402   = 50cm

And CD =  30×4050   = 24cm

In right angle  ΔACD   

AD =  302242    = 18cm

In right angle  ΔBCD   

BD=402242    = 32 cm 

In radius of  ΔACD   

r1 =  P+BH2=18+24302   = 6cm

and in radius of  ΔCDB   

r2 =  P+BH2=24+32402    = 8cm 

In  Δ   PQM,

 PQ=142+22=200    =  102    cm
