The equation of the circle, the end points of whose diameter are the centres of the circles $x^2+y^2+6 x-14 y+5=0$ and $x^2+y^2-4 x+10 y-4=0$ is $x^2+y^2-4 x+10 y-4=0$ is
  1. $x^2+y^2-x-2 y+41=0$
  2. $x^2+y^2+x-2 y-41=0$
  3. $x^2+y^2+x-2 y-41=0$
  4. $x^2+y^2-x+2 y-41=0$

Solution

Center of circle $x^2+y^2+6 x-14 y+5=0$ is $(-3,7)$ and centre of circle $x^2+y^2-4 x+10 y-4=0$ is $(2,-5)$ $\therefore \quad$ Equation of the required circle is $\begin{aligned} & (x+3)(x-2)+(y-7)(y+5)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow x^2+y^2+x-2 y-41=0 \end{aligned}$
