One of the diameters of the circles is given by x2 + y2 – 2x + 4y – 4 = 0, is

(1) x – y – 3 = 0 

(2) x + y – 3 = 0 

(3) –x + y – 3 = 0

(4) x + y + 3 = 0

The correct option

(1) x – y – 3 = 0 

Equation of circle is x2 + y2 – 2x + 4y – 4 = 0

.. Centre is (1, –2)

As we know the equation of diameter is passing through centre.

Now, taking option (1)

i.e., x – y – 3 = 0

=> 1 + 2 – 3 = 0    => 0 = 0

.. It is a required equation of diameter.
