P,Q,R,S are the centres of the four circles each of which is cut by a fixed circle orthogonally. If I12,I22,I32,I42 are the squares of length of tangents to the four circles from a point in their plane then
a. I12ΔQRS−I22ΔRSP+I32ΔSPQ−I42ΔPQR=0
b. I12ΔQRS+I22ΔRSP−I32ΔSPQ+I42ΔPQR=0
c. I12ΔQRS−I22ΔRSP+I32ΔSPQ−I42ΔPQR=−1
d. none of these

Could you explain the notation that you have used in the first three options?

Those are notation of “triange”.

Even I know that.What I want to ask is what do we mean by I12triangle QRS.Does it mean square of tangent length from a fixed point to circumcircle of triangle QRS.
