Question 29 The vertices of a parallelogram in order are A (1, 2), B (4, y), C (x, 6) and D (3, 5). Then (x, y) is (a) (6, 3) (b) (3, 6) (c) (5, 6) (d) (1, 4) Given A(1, 2), B(4, y), C(x, 6), D(3, 5) We know that Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other So, O is the midβˆ’point of AC & BD Finding midβˆ’point of AC Coordinates of O = ((1 + π‘₯)/2,(2 + 6)/2) = ((1 + π‘₯)/2,8/2) = ((𝟏 + 𝒙)/𝟐,πŸ’) Finding midβˆ’point of BD Coordinates of O = ((3 + 4)/2,(5 + 𝑦)/2) = (πŸ•/𝟐,(5 + 𝑦)/2) Now, ((𝟏 + 𝒙)/𝟐,πŸ’) = (πŸ•/𝟐,(5 + 𝑦)/2) Comparing x-coordinate (1 + π‘₯)/2 = 7/2 (1 + x) = 7 x = 7 – 1 x = 6 Comparing x-coordinate 4 = (𝑦 + 5)/2 4 Γ— 2 = y + 5 8 – 5 = y y = 3 ∴ (x, y) = (6, 3) So, the correct answer is (a)
