Let $M = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} : x^2 + y^2 \leq r^2\}$,where $r > 0$. Consider the geometric progression $a_n = \frac{1}{2^{n-1}}$,$n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$. Let $S_0 = 0$ and,for $n \geq 1$,let $S_n$ denote the sum of the first $n$ terms of this progression. For $n \geq 1$,let $C_n$ denote the circle with center $(S_{n-1}, 0)$ and radius $a_n$,and $D_n$ denote the circle with center $(S_{n-1}, S_{n-1})$ and radius $a_n$.
$(1)$ Consider $M$ with $r = \frac{1025}{513}$. Let $k$ be the number of all those circles $C_n$ that are inside $M$. Let $l$ be the maximum possible number of circles among these $k$ circles such that no two circles intersect. Then
$(A)$ $k + 2l = 22$ $(B)$ $2k + l = 26$ $(C)$ $2k + 3l = 34$ $(D)$ $3k + 2l = 40$
$(2)$ Consider $M$ with $r = \frac{(2^{199}-1)\sqrt{2}}{2^{198}}$. The number of all those circles $D_n$ that are inside $M$ is
$(A)$ $198$ $(B)$ $199$ $(C)$ $200$ $(D)$ $201$
