The intercepts on the line

y = x

by the circle

{x^2} + {y^2} - 2x = 0

AB

. Equation of the circle on

AB

as a diameter is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

{x^2} + {y^2} - x - y = 0

Option A (

{x^2} + {y^2} - x - y = 0

) is correct because it represents the equation of the circle with AB as a diameter, where A and B are the intersection points of the given line and circle.
