Problem

Consider two externally tangent circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ with centers $O_1$ and $O_2$ . Suppose that $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ have radii of $1$ and $3$ respectively. There exist points $A, B$ on $\omega_1$ and points $C, D$ on $\omega_2$ such that $AC$ and $BD$ are the external tangents of $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ . The circumcircle of $\triangle BO_2D$ intersects $AC$ at two points $X$ and $Y$ such that $AX < AY$ . If $CX$ can be expressed as $\frac{\sqrt{m}}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $m+n$ .
