The circle $S \equiv x^2+y^2-2x-4y+1=0$ cuts the $y$-axis at $A, B$ $(OA > OB)$. If the radical axis of $S=0$ and $S^{\prime} \equiv x^2+y^2-4x-2y+4=0$ cuts the $y$-axis at $C$,then the ratio in which $C$ divides $AB$ is:

If the equation of the circle having the common chord of the circles $x^2+y^2+x-3y-10=0$ and $x^2+y^2+2x-y-20=0$ as its diameter is $x^2+y^2+\alpha x+\beta y+\gamma=0$,then $\alpha+2\beta+\gamma=$
