Detailed Solution

Given equation of the circles are
x2+y24x10y+28=0(1)x2+y2+4x6y+4=0(2)
For the circle (1) centre C1 = (2,5)
 Radius r1=(2)2+(5)228
r1=4+2528 r1=1
 For the circles (2), centre, C2=(2,3)
  Radiusr2=(2)2+(3)24=4+94
r2=3
C1C2=(22)2+(53)2=(4)2+(2)2C1C2=20
 Now r1+r2=1+3=4=16
C1C2>r1+r2
Given circle are each circle lies completely out side the other
Let A1 be the internal centre of similitude .
The internal centre of similitude A1 divides
C1C2 in the ratio r1 : r2 (1: 3) internally
 The internal center of similitude
A1=mx2+mx1m+n,my2+my1m+n=1(2)+3(2)1+3,1(3+3(5))1+3=2+64,3+154=44,184=1,92
The equation to the pair of transverse common tangents is SS11=S12

Consider
3x2+4xy=0x(3x+4y)=0x=0 and 3x+4y=03x2+4xy24x4y+21=(x+)(3x+4y+k)
Comparing coefficient of x on both sides
 we get k+3=24(3)
Camparing coefficient of ‘x’ on both sides
 we get 4=4 =1
Substitude the volue of  in (3)
k+3(1)=24k3=24k=24+3k=21
 The equation of the transverse common tangents are  
x1=0 and 3x+4y21=0
