Centre of first circle is C1 : (1, 3) and radius = r

centre of second circle is C_2:(4,-1) and radius =\sqrt{16+1-8}=3


Now, \mathrm{C}_1 \mathrm{C}_2=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(-1-3)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=5
Two circles touch if  \mathrm{C}_1 \mathrm{C}_2=\mathrm{r}_1 \pm \mathrm{r}_2
when they intersect in real distinct points, then
C_1 C_2<r_1+r_2   and  C_1 C_2>r_1-r_2 \\ 

\Rightarrow 5<r+3 and  5>r-3 \\
\Rightarrow 2<r \text { and } 8>r \\
