Solution

The correct option is C


We know that the diameter will be perpendicular to the chord because it bisects the chord. Hence the equation of diameter x+2y+k=0 .............(i)

But (i) also passes through the centre of circle (-1,2). Therefore, −1+4+k=0⇒k+−3.

Hence the required equation is x+2y−3=0
