  • D
    $\text{none of these}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\Big(\frac{7}{2},\frac{9}{2}\Big)$

Let the third vertex have coordinates D (x,y).
The centroid of a triangle is given by

$\Rightarrow \text{G}(0,-3) = \Big(\frac{-1 +5 \text{ x}}{3},\frac{4+2+\text{ y}}{3}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow \text{G}(0,-3) = \Big(\frac{4+\text{ x}}{3},\frac{4+2+\text{ y}}{3}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{4+\text{ x}}{3} = 0 $ and $\frac{6 + \text{ y}}{3} = -3$
$\Rightarrow 4+\text{x} - 0 $ and $ 6+\text{ y} = -9$
$\Rightarrow \text{x} = -4 $ and$\text{ y} = -15$

MCQ 51 Mark
In the given figure P(5, -3) and Q(3, y) are the points of teisection of the line segment joining A(7, -2) and B(1, -5). Then y equals:
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • $-4$
  • D
    $\frac{-5}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$-4$
Since P and Q are the points of trisection.
This means AP = PQ = QB.
So, Q divides AB in the ratio 2 : 1 and let the coordinates of Q be (x, y).
We know that, the centre is the mid-point of the diameter.
Using the section formula, we get
$(3,\text{y})=\Big(\frac{2(1)+1(7)}{2+1},\frac{2(-5)+1(-2)}{2+1}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{y}=\frac{2(-5)+1(-2)}{2+1}$

If the coordinates of one end of a diameter of a circle are (2, 3) and the coordinates of its centre are (-2, 5), then the coordinates of the other end of the diameter are:
  • (-6, 7)
  • B
    (6, -7)
  • C
    (4, 2)
  • D
    (5, 3)
Answer
Correct option: A.
(-6, 7)
Let the coordinates of the other end of the diameter be (x, y).We know that, the centre is the mid-point of the diameter.
Using the mid-point formula, we get:
$(-2,5)=\Big(\frac{2+\text{x}}{2},\frac{3+\text{y}}{2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{2+\text{x}}{2}=-2$ and $\frac{3+\text{y}}{2}=5$
⇒ 2 + x = -4 and 3 + y = 10
⇒ x = -6 and y = 7
So, the coordinates of the oyter end are (-6, 7).

The points P(0, 6), Q(-5, 3) and R(3, 1) are the vertices of a triangle, which is:
  • A
    Equilateral.
  • Isosceles.
  • C
    Scalene.
  • D
    Right-angled.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Isosceles.
$\text{PQ}=\sqrt{(0+5^2+(6-3)^2}$$=\sqrt{25+9}=\sqrt{34}\text{ units}$
$\text{QR}=\sqrt{(-5-3)^2+(3-1)^2}$
$=\sqrt{64+4)}=\sqrt{68}\text{ units}$
$\text{PR}=\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(6-1)^2}$
$=\sqrt{9+25}=\sqrt{34}\text{ units}$
Since $\text{PQ}=\text{PR}=\triangle\text{ABC}$ is an isosceles triangle.
Also, $\text{PQ}^2=34,+\text{ PR}^2=34$ and $\text{QR}^2=68$
Clearly, $\text{PQ}^2+\text{PR}^2=\text{QR}^2,$
and so, $\triangle\text{PQR}$ is a rights-angled triangle.
Note: the answer could be (b) as well as (d), since the triangle is an isosceles right-angled triangle.

Answer
Correct option: D.
1 : 2
let the y-axis cut AB at the point P(0, y) in the ratio k : 1.Then, using section formula, we get
$\frac{8\text{k}-4}{\text{k}+1}=0$
$\Rightarrow\ 8\text{k}-4=0$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{k}=\frac{1}{2}$
So, the required ratio is $\frac{1}{2}:1,$ that is 1 : 2.

The perimeter of the triangle with vertices (0, 4), (0, 0) and (3, 0) is:
  • A
    $(7+\sqrt{5})$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $10$
  • $12$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$12$


AO = 4 units
BO = 3 units
Using Distance formula, we get:
$\text{AB}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5\text{ units}$
So, the perimeter of the tringle
= AB + AO + BO
= 5 + 4 + 3
= 12 units

If P(-1, 1) is the mid-point of the line segment joining A(-3, b) and B(1, b + 4) then b = ?
  • A
    1
  • -1
  • C
    2
  • D
    0
Answer
Correct option: B.
-1
Given that P is the mid-point of AB.Using mid-point formula, we get
$\text{P(-1,1)}=\Big(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{\text{b}+\text{b}+4}{2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{b}+\text{b}+4}{2}=1$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{b} + 4 = 2$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{b} = -2$
$\Rightarrow\text{ b} = -1$
