Correct Answer: 10
Solution : When two circles touch each other externally, the distance between their centres is equal to the sum of their radii. ⇒ Distance = 12 = 7 + Radius of other circle ⇒ Radius of other circle = 12 – 7 = 5 cm So, the diameter of other circle = 2 × 5 = 10 cm Hence, the correct answer is 10.
