Detailed Solution

Given circle is x2+y22x4y20=0
 Centre c1=(1,2) for the required circle, we 
 Radius r1=1+4+20 center c2=(h,k)=5
 Radius r2=5 units 
Required circle touches given circle externally at p(5, 5)
P divides c1c2 in the r1:r2 internally =5:5=1:1
P= mid point of c1c2
=1+h2,2+k2(5,5)=1+h2,2+k2
Question Image
1+h2 = 5     2+k2 = 5 h+1=10       k+2=10 h = 9             k = 8
Centre c2=(9,8)   Radius r2 = 5
Equation of required circle is 
(xh)2+(yk)2=r22(x9)2+(y8)2=25x2+y218x16y+81+64=25x2+y218x16y+120=0
