Two circles touches each other if \mathrm{C_1 C_2=\left|r_1 \pm r_2\right|}

Here, C_1(3,0) and \mathrm{C_2(0,4)\, \, . So, \, \, C_1 C_2=5}

Also, \mathrm{r_1=\sqrt{9+0-8}=1\, \, and \, \, r_2=\sqrt{0+16-16+k}=\sqrt{k}}

\mathrm{\therefore \sqrt{k}+1=5\, \, or \, \, |\sqrt{k}-1|=5}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow k=16\, \, or \, \, k=36 \Rightarrow} Maximum value of k is 36 .
