(D) The given circles are $S_1: x^2+y^2-4x-6y-3=0$ and $S_2: x^2+y^2+8x-4y+\lambda=0$. Comparing with $x^2+y^2+2g_1x+2f_1y+c_1=0$ and $x^2+y^2+2g_2x+2f_2y+c_2=0$,we get: $g_1=-2, f_1=-3, c_1=-3$ and $g_2=4, f_2=-2, c_2=\lambda$. The centers are $C_1(2, 3)$ and $C_2(-4, 2)$. The radii are $r_1 = \sqrt{g_1^2+f_1^2-c_1} = \sqrt{4+9+3} = 4$ and $r_2 = \sqrt{g_2^2+f_2^2-c_2} = \sqrt{16+4-\lambda} = \sqrt{20-\lambda}$. The distance between centers $d = \sqrt{(2-(-4))^2 + (3-2)^2} = \sqrt{6^2+1^2} = \sqrt{37}$. The angle $	heta = 60^{\circ}$ between the circles is given by $\cos 	heta = \frac{d^2-r_1^2-r_2^2}{2r_1r_2}$. $\cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{37-16-(20-\lambda)}{2(4)(\sqrt{20-\lambda})} = \frac{1}{2}$. $\frac{1+\lambda}{8\sqrt{20-\lambda}} = \frac{1}{2} \implies 1+\lambda = 4\sqrt{20-\lambda}$. Squaring both sides: $(1+\lambda)^2 = 16(20-\lambda) \implies \lambda^2+2\lambda+1 = 320-16\lambda$. $\lambda^2+18\lambda-319=0$. Solving the quadratic equation: $\lambda = \frac{-18 \pm \sqrt{324 - 4(1)(-319)}}{2} = \frac{-18 \pm \sqrt{324+1276}}{2} = \frac{-18 \pm \sqrt{1600}}{2} = \frac{-18 \pm 40}{2}$. Taking the positive root,$\lambda = \frac{22}{2} = 11$ (not in options). Taking the negative root,$\lambda = \frac{-58}{2} = -29$. Thus,the correct value is $-29$.

If the angle between the circles $x^2+y^2-4x-6y-3=0$ and $x^2+y^2+8x-4y+\lambda=0$ is $60^{\circ}$,then a value of $\lambda$ is
