centre of circle  S1=(2,4)
centre of circle  S2=(4,2)
Radius of circle S1=  radius of circle  S2=4
  equation of circles S2
(x4)2+(y2)2=16 
 x2+y28x4y+4=0....(i)
Equation of circle touching y=x  at (1,1)  can be taken as 
 (x1)2+(y1)2+λ(xy)=0
Or,  x2+y2+x(λ2)+y(-λ2)+2=0....(ii)
this is orthogonal to  S2, Hence use orthogonal condition to find  λ

2λ22(4)+2λ22(2)=4+2

4λ+8+2λ+4=6

Equation of required circle is 

x2+y2+x5y+2=0

 Radius =14+2542=2684=184=322
