Since the given points are collinear, they do not form a triangle, which means area of the triangle is Zero.
Area of a triangle with vertices $(x_1, y_1​); (x_2, y_2​)$ and $(x_3​, y_3​)$ is
$\Big[\frac{\text{x}_1(\text{y}_2-\text{y}_3)+\text{x}_2(\text{y}_3-\text{y}_1+\text{x}_3(\text{y}_1-\text{y}_2)}{2}\Big]$
Hence, substituting the points $(x_1​, y_1​) = (1, 2); (x_2​, y_2​) = (0, 0) $ and $(x_3​, y_3​) = (a, b)$ in the area formula,
we get $\Big[\frac{1(0-\text{b})+0(\text{a}-1)+\text{a}(2-0)}{2}\Big]=0$
$\Rightarrow -b + 2a = 0$
$\Rightarrow 2a = b$

As the point is on $x-$ axis the $y-$ coordinate is zero i.e. $P = (x, 0)$
Now, Point $P$ is equidistant from $A(-1, 0)$ and $B(5, 0)$ so distance is same.
i.e. $AP = PB$
Applying distance formula,
$\text{d}=\sqrt{(\text{x}_2-{\text{x}}_1)^2+(\text{y}_2-\text{y}_1)^2}$
$\sqrt{(\text{x}-(-1)){}^2+(0-0)^2}$
$=\text{d}=\sqrt{(5-{\text{x}})^2+(0-0))^2}$
$\text{x}+1=5-\text{x}$
$2\text{x}=4$
$\text{x}=2$
Therefore, the point is $P = (2, 0).$

If the line segment joining the points $(3, -4)$ and $(1, 2)$ is trisected at points $P(a, -2)$ and $\text{Q}\Big(\frac{5}{3},\text{b}\Big).$ Then,
  • A
    $\text{a}=\frac{8}{3},\text{b}=\frac{2}{3}$
  • $\text{a}=\frac{7}{3},\text{b}=0$
  • C
    $\text{a}=\frac{1}{3},\text{b}=1$
  • D
    $\text{a}=\frac{2}{3},\text{b}=\frac{1}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\text{a}=\frac{7}{3},\text{b}=0$
We have two points $A(3, -4)$ and $B(1, 2)$.
There are two points $P(a, -2)$ and $\text{Q}\Big(\frac{5}{3},\text{b}\Big)$ which trisect the line segment joining $A$ and $B.$
Now according to the section formula if any point $P$ divides a line segment joining $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B(x_2, y_2)$ in the ratio $m: n $ internally than,
$\text{P(x, y)}=\Big(\frac{\text{nx}_1+\text{mx}_2}{\text{m}+\text{n}},\frac{\text{ny}_1+\text{my}_2}{\text{m}+\text{n}}\Big)$
The point $P$ is the point of trisection of the line segment $AB$.
So, $P$ divides $AB$ in the ratio $1: 2.$
Now we will use section formula to find the co $-$ ordinates of unknown point $A$ as,
$\text{P(a,}-2)=\Big(\frac{2(3)+1(1)}{1+2},\frac{2(-4)+1(2)}{1+2}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{7}{3},-2\Big)$
Equate the individual terms on both the sides.
We get $,\text{a}=\frac{7}{3}$
Similarly, the point $Q$ is the point of trisection of the line segment $AB$.
So $,Q$ divides $AB$ in the ratio $2: 1$
Now we will use section formula to find the co $-$ ordinates of unknown point $A$ as,
$\text{Q}\Big(\frac{5}{3},\text{b}\Big)=\Big(\frac{2(1)+1(3)}{1+2},\frac{2(2)+1(-4)}{1+2}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{5}{3},0\Big)$
Equate the individual terms on both the sides.
We get $, b = 0$

The coordinates of the fourth vertex of the rectangle formed by the points $(0, 0), (2, 0), (0, 3)$ are,
  • A
    $(3, 0)$
  • B
    $(0, 2)$
  • $(-2, 3)$
  • D
    $(3, 2)$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$(-2, 3)$
Three vertices of a rectangle are $A(0, 0), B(2, 0), C(0, 3).$
Let fourth vertex be $D(x, y).$
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect eachother at $O.$
$O$ is the mid $-$ point of $AC,$ then
Coordinates of $O$ will be $\Big(\frac{0+0}{2},\frac{0+3}{2}\Big)$
or $\Big(0,\frac{3}{2}\Big)$
$\because O$ is also the mid $-$ point of $BD$
$0=\frac{2+\text{x}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\ 2+\text{x}=0$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=-2$
and $\frac{3}{2}=\frac{0+\text{y}}{2}$
​​​​​​​$\Rightarrow\ \text{y}=3$
$\therefore$ Co-ordinates of $D$ are $(-2, 3).$

A line segment is of length $10$ units. If the coordinates of its one end are $(2, -3)$ and the abscissa of the other end is $10,$ then its ordinate is :
  • A
    $9, 6$
  • $3, -9$
  • C
    $-3, 9$
  • D
    $9, -6$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3, -9$
Let the ordinate of other end $= y$
Then distance between $(2, -3)$ and $(10, y) = 10$ units
$\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{(\text{x}_2-\text{x}_1)^2+(\text{y}_2-\text{y}_1)^2}=10$
$\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{(10-2)^2+(\text{y}+3)^2}=10$
$\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{(8)^2+(\text{y}+3)^2}=10$
Squaring both sides
$ \Rightarrow(8)^2+(y+3)^2=(10)^2 $
$ \Rightarrow 64+(y+3)^2=100 $
$ \Rightarrow(y+3)^2=100-64=36=(6)^2 $
$ \Rightarrow(y+3)^2-(6)^2=0 $
$ \Rightarrow(y+3+6)(y+3-6)=0 $
$ \left\{\because a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\right\} $
$\Rightarrow (y + 9)(y - 3) = 0$
Either $y + 9 = 0,$ then $y = -9$
or $y - 3,$ then $y = 3$
$\therefore y = 3, -9$

If $x$ is a positive integer such that the distance between points $P(x, 2)$ and $Q(3, -6)$ is $10$ units, then $x =$
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $-3$
  • $9$
  • D
    $-9$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$9$
Distance between $P(x, 2)$ and $Q(3, -6) = 10$ units
$\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{(\text{x}_2-\text{x}_1)^2+(\text{y}_2-\text{y}_1)^2}=10$
$\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{(3-\text{x})^2+(-6-2)^2}=10$
$\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{(3-\text{x})^2+(-8)^2}=10$
$\Rightarrow\ \sqrt{(3-\text{x})^2+64}=10$
Squaring both sides,
$ (3-x)^2+64=100 $
$ \Rightarrow 9+x^2-6 x+64-100=0 $
$ \Rightarrow x^2-6 x-27=0 $
$ \Rightarrow x^2-9 x+3 x-27=0 $
$\begin{Bmatrix}\because\ 27=-9\times3\\\ \ -6=-9+3\end{Bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow x(x - 9) + 3(x - 9) = 0$
$\Rightarrow (x - 9)(x - 3) = 0$
Either $x - 9 = 0,$ then $x = 9$ or $x + 3 = 0,$ then $x = -3$
$x$ is positive integer.
Hence $x = 9.$

  • 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
$(3,\text{y})=\Big(\frac{2(1)+1(7)}{2+1},\frac{2(-5)+1(-2)}{2+1}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{y}=\frac{2(-5)+1(-2)}{2+1}$

Coordinates of mid $-$ point of $\text{PR}=\Big(\frac{2+3}{2},\frac{4+6}{2}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{5}{2},\frac{10}{2}\Big)=\Big(\frac{5}{2},5\Big)$
Coordinates of mid $-$ point of $\text{QS}=\Big(\frac{0+5}{2},\frac{3+\text{y}}{2}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{5}{2},\frac{3+\text{y}}{2}\Big)$
Now, these points coincides at the point $O.$
$\therefore\ \Big(\frac{5}{2},\frac{3+\text{y}}{2}\Big)=\Big(\frac{5}{2},5\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{3+\text{y}}{2}=5$
$\Rightarrow 3 + y = 10$
$\Rightarrow y = 7$
Thus, the value of $y$ is $7.$

MCQ 491 Mark
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.

MCQ 501 Mark
The coordinates of the point on $x-$ axis which are equidistant from the points $(-3, 4)$ and $(2, 5)$ are:
  • A
    $(20, 0)$
  • B
    $(-23, 0)$
  • C
    $\Big(\frac{4}{5},0\Big)$
  • None of these.
Answer
Correct option: D.
None of these.
$\because$ The point is on $x-$axis.
$\therefore$ Its ordinate will be $= 0$
Let the points be $P(x, 0)$ which is equidistant from $A(-3, 4) $ and $B(2, 5)$
$P A=P B $
$\Rightarrow P A^2=P B^2$
Now, $P A^2=(-3-x)^2+(4-0)^2$
$=(-3-x)^2+(4)^2$
$=9+x^2+6 x+16=x^2+6 x+25$
and $P B^2=(2-x)^2+(5-0)^2=(2-x)^2+(5)^2$
$=4-4 x+x^2+25$
$=x^2-4 x+29$
$\therefore x^2+6 x+25=x^2-4 x+29$
$\Rightarrow x^2+6 x-x^2+4 x=29-25$
$\Rightarrow 10x = 4$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}$
Point will be $\Big(\frac{2}{5},0\Big).$
