Solution

The required circle is, S+λP=0Putting the equation of circle S and line P we get, x2+y2-2x+1+λx+2y-1=0x2+y2-x2-λ+2λy+1-λ=0Now it's centre is, -g,-f and it is 2-λ2, -λand it's radius is r=g2+f2-c=2-λ22+λ2-1-λ=λ25Now since the circle touches the line 2x-y+3=0therefore perpendicular from center is equal to radius, 2×2-λ2--λ+3±22+12=λ25or 5=±λ2×5or λ=±2Putting the value of λ in equation 1 we get the required circle as, x2+y2-4x-4y+3=0
