Assertion: The points A(3, -1, 2), B(1, 2, -4), C(-1, 1, 2) and D(1, -2, 8) are the vertices of a parallelogram.
Reason: Coordinates of mid - point of a line joining the points A(x1, y1, z1) and B(x1, y2, z2) is $\Big(\frac{\text{x}_{1}+\text{x}_{2}}{2},\frac{\text{y}_1+\text{y}_2}{2},\frac{\text{z}_{1}+\text{z}_{2}}{2}\Big).$
- Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
- Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
- Assertion is correct statement but Reason is wrong statement.
- Assertion is wrong statement but Reason is correct statement.
- Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Solution:
Mid - point of $\text{AC}=\Big(\frac{3-1}{2},\frac{-1+1}{2},\frac{2+2}{2}\Big)=(1,0,2)$
Mid-point of $\text{BD}=\Big(\frac{1+1}{2},\frac{2-2}{2},\frac{-4+8}{2}\Big)=(1,0,2)$
$\because$ Mid - points of AC and BD coincides.
$\therefore$ ABCD is a parallelogram.
