Detailed Solution

Given circle is                                             
x2+y24x+6y12=0
 Centre C1=(g,f)=(2,3)
 Radius r1=g2+f2c
=4+9+12=5
For the required circle
 Centre C2=(h,k)
 Radius r2=2
Question Image
Required circle touches given circle internally at P(–1,1)
P divides C1C2 in the ratio 
C1:C2 externally 
=r1:r2=5:2P=5C2+2C15+2(1,1)=5(h,k)+2(2,3)3=5h+43,5k635h+43=15k63=1h=15k=35 Centre C2=15,35 Radius r2=2 Equation of the required circle is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2x152+y+352=225x2+5y22x+6y18=0
