$A(x_1, y_1)$ is the internal centre of similitude and $B(x_2, y_2)$ is the external centre of similitude of two circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ whose centres are $P(\alpha, \beta)$ and $Q(\gamma, \delta)$ respectively. If $PA=3, AB=5, QB=2$,then the ratio of the radii of the two circles is:

  • A
    $2 : 3$
  • B
    $3 : 2$
  • C
    $1 : 1$
  • D
    $5 : 2$
