Detailed Solution
Given Circle is x2+y2−5x−8y+21=0 Center (52,4) Given A(2,3) one end point of diameter.Let B(a,b) be the other end point of diameter.∴ Centre = Mid point of AB⇒(52,4)=(2+a2,3+b2) (∵if A(x1,y1)B(x2,y2) then Mid Point of AB=(x1+x2)2,(y1+y2)2) ⇒52=2+a2, 4=3+b2 ⇒a=3, ⇒b=5 ∴B(a,b)=(3,5) is the other end point of diameter
