Detailed Solution

Let P (h, k) be a point on the circle

15x2+15y248x+64y=0

Then 15h2+15k248h+64k=0

 h2+k2=4815h6415k             …(i)

Let PT1 and PT2 be the lengths of the tangents from P (h, k) to 

5x2+5y224x+32y+75=0

and, 5x2+5y248x+64y+300=0 respectively. Then,

PT1=h2+k2245h+325k+15

and, PT2=h2+k2485h+645k+60

 PT1=4815h6415k245h+325k+15       [Using (i)] 

 PT1=32k152415h+15

and, PT2=4815h6415k485h+645k+60            [Using (i)] 

 PT2=9615h+12815k+60 PT2=22415h+3215k+15=2PT1 PT1:PT2=1:2
