JEE Math Practice Question
Let $C_{1}$ be the circle of radius 1 with center at the origin. Let $C_{2}$ be the circle of radius $r$ with center at the point $A=(4,1)$, where $1<r<3$. Two distinct common tangents $P Q$ and $S T$ of $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ are drawn. The tangent $P Q$ touches $C_{1}$ at $P$ and $C_{2}$ at $Q$. The tangent $S T$ touches $C_{1}$ at $S$ and $C_{2}$ at $T$. Mid points of the line segments $P Q$ and $S T$ are joined to form a line which meets the $x$-axis at a point $B$. If $A B=\sqrt{5}$, then what is the value of $r^{2}$?
