Detailed Solution

Given circles are S=x2+y28x6y+21=0 and S1=x2+y22x15=0
Required circles passes through the points of intersection of s = 0 and s| = 0
Equation of required circle is S+λS=0
Question Image
x2+y28x6y+21+λx2+y22x15=0
It passes through the point (1, 2).
12+228(1)6(2)+21+λ12+222(1)15=01+4812+21+λ(1+4215)=06+λ(12)=0λ=12
Put in (1) Required circle is
x2+y28x6y+21+12x2+y22x15=02x2+2y216x12y+42+x2+y22x15=03x2+3y218x12y+27=0
