Q.

C1  and  C2  are two circles whose equations are given as  x2+y2=25  and x2+y2+10x+6y+1=0.  Now C3   is a variable circle which cuts C1   and C2  orthogonally. Tangents are drawn from the centre of  C3 to C1,  if the locus of the mid point of the chord of contact of tangents is ax+3y+13b(x2+y2)=0,  then   ba  is

Centre of  C3  will lie on the radical axis of C1  and C2  which is  10x+6y+26=0.
Let centre of C3   is  (h,k). 
Equation of chord of contact through (h,k)  to the C1  may be given as  hx+ky=25    .........(I)
Let the mid point of the chord is (x1,y1)   the equation of the chord with the help of mid point may be given as xx1+yy1=x12+y12 
Since (I) and (II) represents same straight line 
     h25=x1x12+y12,k25=y1x12+y12         .......   (II) 
Since (h,k)  lie on the radical axis  10(25x1x12+y12)+6(25y1x12+y12)+26=0
the locus of (x1,y1)  is  5x+3y+1325(x2+y2)=0
