we know,
radius is the distance between centre to a point lies on circumference of circle .
also radius = diameter/2
so, radius = 10 unit .

now,
according to above explanation radius equal to distance between (2a -1, 3a +1 ) and (2 , 3)

use,distance formula of co-ordinate geometry

radius = √{( 2a -1 -2)² + (3a + 1 -3)² }

10 = √{(2a -3)² + (3a -2)² }

take square both sides,

100 = (2a -3)² + (3a -2)²

100 = 4a² -12a + 9 +9a² -12a + 4

100 = 13a² -24a + 13

13a² -24a -87 = 0

a = { 24 ± √24² + 4×87×13)}/26

= { 24 ±√(576 + 4524)}/26

= {24 ± 10√51}/26
