If the coordinates of the mid-points of side $AB$ and $AC$ of $\triangle ABC$ are $D(3,5)$ and $E(-3,-3)$ respectively, the $BC=$

  1. $10$

  2. $15$

  3. $20$

Correct Option: A

Find a point on the y-axis which equidistant from the points $A(6,5)$ and $B(-4,3)$

  1. $(0,9)$

  2. $(9,0)$

  3. $(3,0)$

  4. $(4,0)$


Correct Option: A

If $(-6,-4)$ and $(3,5)$ are the extremities of the diagonals of a parallelogram and $(-2,1)$ is its third vertex, then its fourth vertex is 

  1. $(-1,0)$

  2. $(0,-1)$

  3. $(-1,1)$

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Given,

$P(-6,-4),Q(3,5),R(-2,1),S(\alpha ,\beta )$

Let $P$ and $Q$ are the extremities of diagonals of a parallelogram, and 

$R$ and $S$ will be the extremities of diagonals of a parallelogram

Now,

midpoint of $PQ=\dfrac{3-6}{2},\dfrac{5-4}{2}=\dfrac{-3}{2},\dfrac{1}{2}$

midpoint of $RS\Rightarrow \dfrac{-2+\alpha }{2}=-\dfrac{3}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =-3+2=-1$

Now,

$\dfrac{\alpha +\beta }{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \beta =0$

Therefore, coordinates of 4th vertex is $(-1,0)$
