Let C:x2+y2=4C:{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=4C:x2+y2=4 and C′:x2+y2−4λx+9=0{C}^{'}:{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}-4\lambda x+9=0C′:x2+y2−4λx+9=0 be two circles. If the set of all values of λ\lambdaλ so that the circles CCC and C′C'C′ intersect at two distinct points, is R−[a,b]R-[a,b]R−[a,b], then the point (8a+12,16b−20)(8a+12,16b-20)(8a+12,16b−20) lies on the curve:
