    The intercept on the line\[y=x\]by the circle\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x=0\]is AB. Equation of the circle on AB as a diameter is

    A) \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-x-y=0\]     

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-x+y=0\]

    C)        \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+x+y=0\]

    D)       \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+x-y=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The equation of line is\[y=x\]                   ...(i) and equation of circle is \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x=0\]                     ...(ii) On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}-2x=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2{{x}^{2}}-2x=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2x(x-1)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=0,\text{ }x=1\] When\[x=0,\]then\[y=0\] and when\[x=1,\]then\[y=1\] Let coordinates of A be (0,0)and coordinates of B be (1,1). \[\therefore \]Equation of circle (AB as a diameter) is \[(x-{{x}_{1}})(x-{{x}_{2}})+(y-{{y}_{1}})(y-{{y}_{2}})=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(x-0)(x-1)+(y-0)(y-1)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x(x-1)+y(y-1)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}-x+{{y}^{2}}-y=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-x-y=0\] Alternate Solution Equation of a circle passing through the points of intersection of\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x=0\]and\[y=x\]is \[({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2x)+\lambda (x-y)=0\] i.e.,        \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+(\lambda -2)x-\lambda y=0\] Its centre is\[\left( \frac{2-\lambda }{2},\frac{\lambda }{2} \right)\] Since, AB is diameter of required circle. \[\therefore \]\[\left( \frac{2-\lambda }{2},\frac{\lambda }{2} \right)\]must lies on\[y=x\]. \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{\lambda }{2}=\frac{2-\lambda }{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\lambda =1\] \[\therefore \]The equation of required circle is \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-x-y=0\]
