Bill draws two circles which intersect at X , Y X, Y . Let P P be the intersection of the common tangents to the two circles and let Q Q be a point on the line segment connecting the centres of the two circles such that lines P X PX and Q X QX are perpendicular.

Given that the radii of the two circles are 3 , 4 3, 4 and the distance between the centers of these two circles is 5 5 , then the largest distance from Q Q to any point on either of the circles can be expressed as m n \frac{m}{n} for relatively prime positive integers m m and n n . Compute 100 m + n 100m +n .


The answer is 4807.
