The length of the chord joining the points in which the straight line $\dfrac{x}{3} + \dfrac{y}{4} = 1$ cuts the circle $x^2 + y^2 = \dfrac{169}{25}$ is
Given circle:
$ x^2+y^2-2x-4y-20=0 $
$ \Rightarrow (x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=25 $
Centre $=(1,2)$, radius $=5$
New circle also radius $=5$
Since they touch externally, centres lie on line joining and midpoint is $(5,5)$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{h+1}{2}=5,\ \frac{k+2}{2}=5 $
$ \Rightarrow h=9,\ k=8 $
Equation:
$ (x-9)^2+(y-8)^2=25 $
