The correct answer is: -1,0


The circle which passes through the points of contact of circles C1,C2 & C2,C3 & C3,C1 is the incircle of ΔO1O2O3.

Its centre lies on the angle bisectors of ΔO1O2O3.
Hence, required point is incentre of ΔO1O2O3.
Now, O1O2=56, O2O3=25 & O3O1=39
Ι=56×0+25×-36+39×2056+25+39,25×7+56×-8+39725+56+39
=-1,0
