Detailed Solution
The equation of the common chord AB of the two circles is 2x+1=0 [Using S1-S2=0]The equation of the required circle is x2+y2+2x+3y+1+λ(2x+1)=0 [Using : S1+λ(S2-S1)=0]⇒ x2+y2+2x(λ+1)+3y+λ+1=0.Since AB is a diameter of this circle. Therefore, centre of this circle lies on AB.∴ −2λ−2+1=0⇒λ=−1/2So, the equation of the required circle is x2+y2+x+3y+1/2=0or, 2x2+2y2+2x+6y+1=0
