The coordinates of centres \mathrm{C}_{1} and \mathrm{C}_{2} of two circles are (1,0) and (2,3) respectively. Let \mathrm{r}_{1} and \mathrm{r}_{2} be

the radii of two circles. Then \mathrm{r}_{1}=2 and \mathrm{r}_{2}=\sqrt{21}.\mathrm{Clearly \: \mathrm{r}_{1}-\mathrm{r}_{2}<\mathrm{c}_{1} \mathrm{c}_{2}<\mathrm{r}_{1}+\mathrm{r}_{2}}

Hence the two circles intersect each other.
