Solution:
Let an equation of circle
x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 and point
A(x1,y1) Then equation of chord of contact is
xx1+yy1+g(x+x1)+f(y+y1)+c=0
⇒(x1+g)x+(y1+f)y+(gx1+fy1+c)=0
Let another point
B(x2,y2) through which chord (i) passes, so
x1x2+gx2+y1y2+fy2+gx1+fy1+c=0...(ii)
Now equation of circle having
AB as diameter is
(x−x1)(x−x2)+(y−y1)(y−y2)=0
⇒x2+y2−(x1+x2)x−(y1+y2)y+x1x2+y1y2=0....(iii)
By the circles
x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 and circle (iii)
the
2g1g2+2f1f2 =−2g(‌)−2f(‌) =−gx1−gx2−fy1−fy2 =x1x2+y1y2+c  
{ from Eq. (ii)
} =c1+c2 ∵2g1g2+2f1f2=c1+c2 ∴ Circles
x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 and Eq. (iii) cuts orthogonally.
