Detailed Solution

Given circles are
Sx2+y25x6y+4=0......(1)S'=x2+y22x2=0...... (2) 
Now equation of common chord of (1) & (2) is S-S'=0
x2+y25x6y+4x2+y22x2=03x6y+6=0x+2y2=0......(3)
from (2) g =-1, f=0, c=-2
Centre (c)=(1,0), r =1+0+2=3.
Now d = perpendicular distance (1,0),to (3)
d=|1(1)+2(0)25d=15
Now length of chord (AB) = 2r2-d2
                                             =2315=2145
