The correct answer is: 25
Family of circles is x-3x-6+y-7y-5+λ
2x+3y-27=0
i.e., x2+y2+x2λ-9+y3λ-12+53-27λ=0
Common chord of family of circles and the given circle is
-5x-6y+56+λ2x+3y-27=0
which represents family of line passing through point of intersection of the lines
5x6y+56=0 and 2x+3y27=0
The point of intersection is 2,233
a=2
b=233
a+3b=2+23=25
