The correct answer is: -2

In first circle,

x-22+y-32=25

x-22+y-32=52   1

Compare equation 1 with,

x-h2+y-k2=r2

h=2, k=3 & r1=5

Centre of circle 1 is h,k=2,3

And it's radius is =5 unit

For Second circle,

25x2+25y2-40x-70y-160=0

25x2+y2-85x-145y-325=0

x2+y2-85x-145y-325=0

x-452+y-752=325+1625+4925

x-452+y-752=3   2

Comparing it with equation x-h'2+y-k'2=r'2

h'=45, k'=75 & r2=3

Centre of circle is h',k'=45,75

Its Radius is r2=3 unit.

Point of Contact is α,β=r1x2-r2x1r1-r2,r1y2-r2y1r1-r2

α,β=5×45-3×25-3,5×75-3×35-3=-1,-1

α+β=-1-1=-2
