Detailed Solution

The given circle is x2+y24x+2y7=0 ...(1)
Let the required circle which cuts orthogonally the circle (i) is
x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 ...(2)
given its centre is (–g, –f) = (2, 3) g = –2,f = –3
Since  two circles (1) and (2) are cutting each other orthogonally.

then 2g1g2+2f1f2=c1+c2
2(2)(2)+2(3)(1)=7+c86=7+c+2=7+cc=7+2=9c=9
Hence the required circle is x2+y24x6y+9=0
