The correct answer is: 6

Given,

S1x2+y2-10x+4y+13=0 with radius R=4 and its one diameter is chord of other circle S2 whose centre is given by intersection of 2x+3y=12 & 3x-2y=5 which is 3,2

Now, plotting the diagram we get,

Now, from above circle the distance between the centres is given by l=5-32+-2-22=20

Hence, radius of S2 will be, r2=202+42=20+16=36

r=6
