Dear Student,
family of circles touching given line at given point is given by: (x-1)^2 + (y-1)^2 + k(2x – y – 1 ) =0
 Now centre of circle = ( 1-k , (k+1)/2 )
This must be at a distance of radius from 2x+y = 4
Radius = k√5 /2
D= (2(1-k) + (k+1)/2 -4) / √5
Put D= radius to get k=-3/8
Put the value of k in family of circles to get equation                                
Cheers!!
