 Let \mathrm{S_1=x^2+y^2-15 x+5 y=0} \quad \quad \quad \dots(i)

Any point circle through (1,2) is given as

\mathrm{S_2=(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=0}\quad \quad \quad \dots(ii)
Family of circles passing through \mathrm{S_1=0} and \mathrm{S_2=0} is \mathrm{S_1+\lambda S_2=0}, where, \lambda is a parameter (\lambda \neq-1) \quad \quad \dots(iii)

Now, circle (iii) passes through \mathrm{(0,2) \Rightarrow \lambda=-14}

Putting, \mathrm{\lambda=-14} in (iii), we get the required equation.
