The centre of the given circle is O(4,3)

Question Image

The circumcircle of ΔPABwill circumscribe the quadrilateral PBOAalso. Hence, one of the diameters must be OP

So, the equation of circumcircle of ΔPABwill be

(x2)(x4)+(y3)(y+3)=0

Or  x2+y26x1=0.....(i)

Director circle of the given ellipse will be

(x+5)2+(y3)2=9+b2

Or  x2+y2+10x6y+25b2=0....(ii)

So, from  (i) and (ii) by applying the condition of orthogonally, we get

2[3(5)+0(3)]=1+25b2or30=24b2

Hence b2=54
