    $\Big(\frac{5}{2},3\Big)$
  • B
    $\Big(5,\frac{7}{2}\Big)$
  • $\Big(\frac{7}{2},\frac{9}{2}\Big)$
  • 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$\text{ y} = -15$
So, the coordinates of the third vertex are $(-4,-15)$

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 $\text{AP = PQ = QB.}$
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 $\frac{3+\text{y}}{2}=5$
$\Rightarrow 2 + x = -4$ and $3 + y = 10$
$\Rightarrow x = -6$ 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.
  • B
    Isosceles.
  • C
    Scalene.
  • Right$-$angled.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Right$-$angled.

$\text{PQ}=\sqrt{(0+5^2+(6-3)^2}$
$=\sqrt{25+9}=\sqrt{34}\text{ units}$
$\text{QR}=\sqrt{(-5-3)^2+(3-1)^2}$
$=\sqrt{64+4)}=\sqrt{68}\text{ units}$
$\text{PR}=\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(6-1)^2}$
$=\sqrt{9+25}=\sqrt{34}\text{ units}$
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.

Correct option: A.
$(2, 5)$
Let the mid$-$point of $A$ be $(x, y).$
$P(0, 4)$ is given to be mid$-$point $AB.$
Using the mid$-$point formula, we get
$(0,4)=\Big(\frac{-2+\text{x}}{2},\frac{3+\text{y}}{2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\ 0=\frac{-2+\text{x}}{2}$ and $4=\frac{3+\text{y}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow -2 + x = 0$ and $3 + y = 8$
$\Rightarrow x = 2$ and $y = 5$
So, the coordinates of $A$ are $(2, 5).$

In what ratio does the $y-$axis divide the join of $P(-4, 2)$ and $Q(8, 3)?$
  • A
    $3 : 1$
  • B
    $1 : 3$
  • C
    $2 : 1$
  • $1 : 2$
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
$= \text{AB + AO + BO}$
$= 5 + 4 + 3$
$= 12$ units

The distance of $P(3, 4)$ from the $x-$axis is:
  • A
    $3$ units
  • $4$ units
  • C
    $5$ units
  • D
    $1$ units
Answer
Correct option: B.
$4$ units
The distance of the point $P(3, 4)$ is given by the $y-$coordinate of the points $P.$
So, the distance $= 4$ 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
$\text{P(-1,1)}=\Big(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{\text{b}+\text{b}+4}{2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{b}+\text{b}+4}{2}=1$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{b} + 4 = 2$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{b} = -2$
$\Rightarrow\text{ b} = -1$
