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 midβpoint of AC & BD Finding midβpoint of AC Coordinates of O = ((1 + π₯)/2,(2 + 6)/2) = ((1 + π₯)/2,8/2) = ((π + π)/π,π) Finding midβpoint of BD Coordinates of O = ((3 + 4)/2,(5 + π¦)/2) = (π/π,(5 + π¦)/2) Now, ((π + π)/π,π) = (π/π,(5 + π¦)/2) Comparing x-coordinate (1 + π₯)/2 = 7/2 (1 + x) = 7 x = 7 β 1 x = 6 Comparing x-coordinate 4 = (π¦ + 5)/2 4 Γ 2 = y + 5 8 β 5 = y y = 3 β΄ (x, y) = (6, 3) So, the correct answer is (a)
