Solution

Dear student
The lines 4x-3y+10=0 ....(1) and 4x-3y-30=0 ...(2)are parallel and are touching the circle.It is given that the centre of the circle lies on the line 2x+y=0which intersects the line (1) and (2) at A(-1,2) and B(3,-6) respectively.Therefore, the centre of the circle is the mid-point of AB.So, the coordinates of the centre are (1,-2)
