The correct answer is:
Plotting the diagram of the given data we have,
Now let the circle whose radius is and centre ,
And circle whose radius is and centre now we can see that radius of is times of radius of , so will be director circle where we have perpendicular tangents,
So is right angle triangle right angled at , now we know that circum centre will lie on midpoint of hypotenuse,
So circumcentre is midpoint of ,
Now let point point be ,
Now we know that in square midpoint of both diagonal are same, so by midpoint formula we get,
Now by squaring and adding we get,
