Diameter of a circle is AB. Let the center of circle be O.
     A = (1, 3).   B = (4, 5).

=>  Slope of AB: (5-3)/(4-1) = 2/3
=> Midpoint of AB = O = (5/2, 4)

We need the equation of diameter COD ⊥ AOB.
=> Slope of COD : - 3/2
COD passes through O.

Equation of COD:     y = - 3/2 x + c
O lies on COD:      5/2 = - 3/2 * 4 + c
                                 c = 17/2

 => Answer:  ⊥r diameter:   y = -3/2 x + 17/2
               or    2 y + 3 x - 17 = 0

Srashti11: here also answer is given 6x+4y=31
Srashti11: how is it possible???
Srashti11: is the answer in book is wrong
Srashti11: I've got the answer of this also
Srashti11: you have put x in place of y and y in place of x
