If a>2b>0a > 2b > 0 , then the positive value of mm for which y=mx−b1+m2y = mx - b\sqrt{1+m^2} is a common tangent to x2+y2=b2x^2 + y^2 = b^2 and (x−a)2+y2=b2(x-a)^2 + y^2 = b^2 is (1) 2b(a2−4b2)\frac{2b}{\sqrt{(a^2 - 4b^2)}} (2) (a2−4b2)2b\frac{\sqrt{(a^2 - 4b^2)}}{2b} (3) 2ba−2b\frac{2b}{a - 2b} (4) ba−2b\frac{b}{a - 2b}
