Detailed Solution

Given circles are
Sx2+y26x4y+9=0.....(1)S'x2+y28x6y+23=0....(2)
Now common chord of (1) & (2) is SS=0

x2+y26x4y+9x2+y28x6y+23=02x+2y14=0x+y7= 0.....(3)
from (2) g = -4, f = -3, c = 23
Centre = (4,3)
r=(4)2+(3)223=16+923r=2
Now sub centre = (4,3) in (3)
 4+3=7= 0 0=0
Common chord is diameter of second circle.
Now length of common chord (AB) = length of diameter of second circle.
                                                               =2r=22
