If u draw the diagram then u will relaise that the circlea are orthogonal means they aee touching externally. And point (1,2) will lie on the common cbord of the circle and also the radius are equal . So therefore (1,2)is the mid point of both the circles so by that centre of another circle is (-1,5) therefore the equation of circle is x^2 + y^2 + 2x -10y +1 = 0.
