Detailed Solution

Centre of the given circle is O(4, -3)
The circumcircle of  ΔPAB will circumscribe the quadrilateral PBOS also, hence one of the diameters must be OP.
Equation of circumcircle of  ΔPAB  will be  (x2)(x4)+(y3)(y+3)=0
x2+y26x1=0        ……………(1)
Director circle of given ellipse will be
(x+5)2+(y3)2=9+b2
x2+y2+10x6y+25b2=0     …………………(2)
From (1) and (2) by applying condition of orthogonally, we get  
2[3(5)+0(3)]=1+25b2
30=24b2
