Question:medium

The equation of the circle passing through the points of intersection of the circles \[ x^2+y^2-2x-4y+1=0, \] \[ x^2+y^2-4x-2y+4=0 \] and having its centre on the line \[ x-2y-3=0 \] is

Show Hint

If a circle passes through the common points of two circles \(S_1=0\) and \(S_2=0\), use \[ S_1+\lambda(S_2-S_1)=0. \] Then apply the extra condition (centre, radius, tangent, etc.) to determine \(\lambda\).
