If the points $A(1, 2), O(0, 0)$ and $C(a, b)$ are collinear, then:
  • A
    $a = b$
  • B
    $a = 2b$
  • $2a = b$
  • D
    $a = -b$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2a = b$

Let the given points are $A=\left(x_1, y_1\right)=(1,2), B=\left(x_2, y_2\right)=(0,0)$ and $C=\left(x_3, y_3\right)=(a, b)$.
$\because\text{Area of } \triangle\text{ABC }\triangle=\frac{1}{2}[\text{x}_1(\text{y}_2-\text{y}_3)+\text{x}_2(\text{y}_3-\text{y}_1)+\text{x}_3(\text{y}_1-\text{y}_2)]$
$\therefore\triangle=\frac{1}{2}[1(0 - \text{b})+0(\text{b}-2)+\text{a}(2 -0)]$
$\triangle=\frac{1}{2}(\text{-b} + 0 +2\text{a})$
$\triangle=\frac{1}{2}(2\text{a}-\text{b})$
Since, the points $A(1, 2), B(0, 0)$ and $C(a, b)$ are collinear, then area of $\triangle\text{ABC}$ should be equal to zero.
$\text{i.e.,}\text{ area of }\triangle\text{ ABC}=0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}(2\text{a} - \text{b})=0 $
$\Rightarrow2\text{a}-\text{b}=0$
$\Rightarrow2\text{a}=\text{b}$
Hence, the required relation is $2a = b.$

But mid$-$point $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{3},4\Big)$ is given
$\therefore\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{3},4\Big)=(-4, 4)$
On comparing the coordinates, we get
$\frac{\text{a}}{3}=-4$

MCQ 101 Mark
The perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points $A(1, 5)$ and $8(4, 6)$ cuts the y-axis at:
  • $(0, 13)$
  • B
    $(0, -13)$
  • C
    $(0, 12)$
  • D
    $(13, 0)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$(0, 13)$
Firstly, we plot the points of the line segment on the paper and join them.

We know that, the perpendicular bisector of the line segment $AB$ bisect the segment $AB$, i.e., perpendicular bisector of line segment $AB$ passes through the mid$-$point of $AB.$
$\therefore\text{Mid-point of AB}=\Big(\frac{1+4}{2},\frac{5+6}{2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{P}=\Big(\frac{5}{2},\frac{11}{2}\Big)$
$\left[\right.$ Since, mid-point of any line segment which passes throught the points $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ and $\left.\left(x_2, y_2\right)=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)\right]$
Now, we draw a straight line on paper passes through the mid$-$point $P$ . We see that the perpendicular bisector cuts the $Y-$axis at the point $(0,13)$. Hence, the required point is $(0,13)$.
Alternate Answer
We know that, the equation of line which passes through the points $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ and $\left(x_2, y_2\right)$ is, $\left( y - y _1\right)=\frac{ y _2- y _1}{ x _2- x _1}\left( x - x _1\right) \ldots (i)$
Here, $x _1=1, y _1=5$ and $x _2=4, y _2=6$
So, the equation of line segment joining the points $A(1, 5)$ and $B(4, 6)$ is,
$(\text{y}-5)=\frac{6-5}{4-1}(\text{x}-1)$
$\Rightarrow(\text{y}-5)=\frac{1}{3}(\text{x}-1)$
$\Rightarrow3\text{y}-15=\text{x}-1$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}=\text{x}-14$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{1}{3}\text{x}-\frac{14}{3}\ ......(\text{ii})$
$\therefore$ Slope of the line segment, $\text{m}_1=\frac{1}{3}$
If two lines are perpendicular to each other, then relation between its slopes is
$m_1 \times m_2=-1$
Where, $m _1=$ Slope of line $1$
and = Slope of line $2$
Also, we know that the perpendicular bisector of the line segment is perpendicular on the line segment.
Let slope of line segment is $m _2$.
From Eq. $(iii),$
$m_1 \times m_2=\frac{1}{3} \cdot m_2=-1$
$\Rightarrow m_2=-3$
Also we know that the perpendicular bisector is passes through the mid-point of line segment.
$\therefore \text { Mid-point of line segment }=\left(\frac{1+4}{2}, \frac{5+6}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{11}{2}\right)$
Equation of perpendicular bisector, which has slope $(-3)$ and passes through the point $\left(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{11}{2}\right)$ is,
$\left(y-\frac{11}{2}\right)=(-30)\left(x-\frac{5}{2}\right)$
[Since, equation od line passes through the point $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ and having slope $m\left(y-y_1\right)=m\left(x-x_1\right)$ ]
$\Rightarrow(2 y-11)=-3(2 x-5)$
$\Rightarrow 2 y-11=-6 x+15$
$\Rightarrow 6 x+2 y=26$
$\Rightarrow 3 x+y=13$
If the perpendicular bisector cuts the $y$-axis, then put $x=0$ in Eq. $(iv),$
$3 \times 0+y=13$
$\Rightarrow y=13$
So, the required point is $(0,13)$.

  • A
    $I$ quadrant.
  • B
    $II$ quadrant.
  • C
    $III$ quadrant.
  • $IV$ quadrant.
Answer
Correct option: D.
$IV$ quadrant.

If $P ( x , y )$ divides the line segment joining $A \left( x _1, y _2\right)$ and $B \left( x _2, y_2\right)$ internally in the ratio m : n then
$\text{x}=\frac{1(3)+2(7)}{1+2},\text{y}=\frac{1(4)+2(-6)}{1+2} [$by section formula$]$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{3+14}{3},\text{y}=\frac{-4+12}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{17}{3},\text{y}=-\frac{8}{3}$
So, $\big(\text{x},\text{ y})=\Big(\frac{17}{3},-\frac{8}{3}\Big) $ lies in $IV$ quadrant.
$[$Since, in $IV$ quadrant, $x-$coordinate is positive and $y-$coordinate is negative$]$

The fourth vertex $D$ of a parallelogram $\text{ABCD}$ whose three vertices are $A(-2, 3), B(6, 7)$ and $C(8, 3)$ is:
  • A
    $(0, 1)$
  • $(0, -1)$
  • C
    $(-1, 0)$
  • D
    $(1, 0)$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$(0, -1)$

Let the fourth vertex of parallelogram, $\text{D}\equiv(\text{x}_4,\text{ y}_4)$ and $L, M$ be the middle points of $AC$ and $BD$, respectively,
Then, $\text{L}\equiv\Big(\frac{-2+8}{2},\frac{3+3}{2}\Big)\equiv(3, 3)$
$\Big[$ Since, mid-point of any line segment which passes throught the points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ $=\Big(\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2}{2},\frac{\text{y}_1+\text{y}_2}{2}\Big)\Big]$
and $\text{M}=\Big(\frac{6+\text{x}_4}{2},\frac{7+\text{y}_4}{2}\Big)$

Since, $\text{ABCD}$ is a parallelogram, therefore diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ will bisect each other.
Hence, $L$ and $M$ are the same points.
$\therefore3=\frac{6+\text{x}_4}{2}\text{ and }3=\frac{7+\text{y}_4}{2}$
$\Rightarrow6=6+\text{x}_4\text{ and }6=7+\text{y}_{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}_{4}=0\text{ and }\text{y}_{4}$
$\therefore\text{x}_{4}\text{ and }\text{y}_{4}=-1$
Hence, the fourth vertex of parallelogram is $D (x_4, y_4) = D(0, -1).$

The coordinates of the point which is equidistant from the three vertices of the $\triangle\text{AOB}$ as shown in the figure is:
  • $(\text{x, y})$
  • B
    $(\text{y, x})$
  • C
    $\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{2},\frac{\text{y}}{2}\Big)$
  • D
    $\Big(\frac{\text{y}}{2},\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$(\text{x, y})$

Let the coordinate of the point which is equidistant from the three vertices $0(0,0), A(0,2 y)$ and $B (2 x , 0)$ is $P ( h , k )$.
Then, $PO = PA = PB$
$\Rightarrow(P O)^2=(P A)^2=(P B)^2$
By distance formula, $\left[\sqrt{(h-0)^2+(k-0)^2}\right]^2=\left[\sqrt{(h-0)^2+(k-2 y)^2}\right]^2=\left[\sqrt{(h-2 x)^2+(k-0)^2}\right]^2$
$\Rightarrow h^2+k^2=h^2+(k-2 y)^2=(h-2 x)^2+k^2 \ldots \ldots . . .( (ii))$
Taking first two equations, we get
$h^2+k^2=h^2+(k-2 y)^2$
$k^2=k^2+4 y^2-4 y k$
$4 y(y-k)=0$
$y=k[\because y \neq 0]$
Taking first and third equations, we get
$h^2+h^2=(h-2 x)^2+k^2$
$h^2=h^2+4 x^2-4 x h$
$4 x(x-h)=0$
$x=h[\because x \neq 0]$

The distance between the points $(0,5)$ and $(-5, 0)$ is:
  • A
    $5$
  • $5\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $2\sqrt{5}$
  • D
    $10$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$5\sqrt{2}$

Distance between the points $( x _1, y _1)$ and $( x _2, y _2)$
$\text{d}=\sqrt{(\text{x}_2-\text{x}_1)^2+(\text{y}_2-\text{y}_1)^2}$
Here, $x_1=0, y_1=5$ and $x_2=-5, y_2=0$
Distance between the point $(0, 5)$ and $(-5, 0)$
$\text{d}=\sqrt{(-5-0)^2+(0-5)^2}$
$\text{d}=\sqrt{25+25}$
$\text{d}=\sqrt{50}$
$\text{d}=5\sqrt{2}$

The perimeter of a triangle with vertices $(0, 4), (0, 0)$ and $(3, 0)$ is:
  • A
    $5$
  • $12$
  • C
    $11$
  • D
    $7+\sqrt{5}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$12$

We further, adding all the distance of a triangle to get the oerimeter of a triangle. We point the vertices of a triangle i. e., $(0, 4), (0, 0)$ and $(3, 0)$ on the paper shown as given below:

Now, perimeter of $\triangle\text{AOB} =$ Sum of the length of all its sides $= d(AO) + d(OB) + d(AB)$
$\therefore$ Distance between the points $\left( x _1, y _1\right)$ and $\left( x _2, y _2\right)$,
$\text{d}=\sqrt{(\text{x}_2-\text{x}_1)^2+(\text{y}_2-\text{y}_1)^2}$
$d =$ Distance between $A(0, 4)$ and $O(0, 0) +$ Distance between $O(0, 0)$ and $B(3, 0) +$ Distance between $A(0, 4)$ and $B(3, 0)$
$\text{d}\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(0-4)^2}+\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(0-0)^2}+\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(0-4)^2}$
$\text{d}=\sqrt{0+16}+\sqrt{9+0}+\sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2}$
$\text{d}=4+3+\sqrt{9+16}$
$\text{d}=7+\sqrt{25}$
$\text{d}=7+5$
$\text{d}=12$
Hence, the required perimeter of triangle is $12.$

The point which lies on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points $A(-2, – 5)$ and $B(2, 5)$ is:
  • $(0, 0)$
  • B
    $(0, 2)$
  • C
    $(2, 0)$
  • D
    $(-2, 0)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$(0, 0)$

We know that, the perpendicular bisector of the any line segment divides the jjpe segment into two equal parts i.e., the perpendicular bisector of the line segment always passes through the mid$-$point of the line segment. Mid$-$point of the line segment joining the points $A (-2, -5)$ and $S(2, 5)$
$=\Big(\frac{-2+2}{2},\frac{-5+5}{2}\Big)=(0,0)$
$\Big[$ Since, mid-point of any line segment which passes throught the points $( x _1, y _1)$ and $( x _2, y _2)$ $=\Big(\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2}{2},\frac{\text{y}_1+\text{y}_2}{2}\Big)\Big]$
Hence, $(0, 0)$ is the required point lies on the perpendicular bisector of the lines segment.
