joining the circles from the point at 60* we see that its 30-60-90 ∆
and with each circle the distance from the point is 3 times that of the previous circle radius
so middle circle radius is 9 and yellow circle radius is 3
option C

Answer is C
For the blue circle, the distance from the point of the angle to the farthest point on the blue circle is 27+27+27 since the radius of the blue circle is 27. Same applies on the middle one. Radius of the middle circle should be 3*r = 27, which is 9.
And same applies on the yellow circle, 3*r=9, then we can get the radius of the yellow circle is 3.
