Detailed Solution

Given circles are
Sx2+y22x=0.g=1,f=0,c=0
Centre c1=(g,f)=(1,0)
             r1=1+00=1
Sx2+y2+6x6y+2=0g=3,f=3,c=2
Centre C2=(3,3), r2=9+92=4.
Now 
c1c2=(3+1)2+(30)2=16+9=5
Now r1+r2=1+4 = 5
c1c2=r1+r2
 Given circles touch each other externally.
Now point of contact P divides C1C2¯ in the ratio r1:r2 internally then 
P=mx2+nx1m+n,my2+ny1m+n
P=1(3)+4(1)5,1(3)+4(0)5P=15,35
