Solution
According to the question, the circle passes through the origin.
Let the equation of the circle be
The circle cuts off chords of lengths 4 and 6 on the positive sides of the x-axis and the y-axis, respectively.
∴ Centre = \[\left( \frac{4}{2}, \frac{6}{2} \right) = \left( 2, 3 \right) = \left( h, k \right)\]
∴ Required equation: \[x^2 + y^2 + 2\left( - 2 \right)x + 2\left( - 3 \right)y = 0\]
