Detailed Solution

Given circle is Sx2+y24=0
Given line is L=2x+3y1=0
circle S = 0 and the line  L = 0 Intersect at A,B.
Required circle passes through the points of intersection of A and B.
 Equation of required circle is S+λL=0
x2+y24+λ(2x+3y1)=0 ...(1)
 Its centre C=2λ2,3λ2=λ,32λ
Question Image
AB is diameter, centre  C lies on it i.e., cλ,32λ lies on line
2x+3y1=0 2(λ)+332λ1=04λ9λ22=013λ2=0λ=213
Put λ in (1)

 Equation of required circle is
x2+y24213(2x+3y1)=013x2+y2524x6y+2=013x2+y24x6y50=0
