C
1st method: - In a right angled triangle
Circumradius = hypotenuse2
The coordinates of circumcentre = (3,1)
2nd method: - If O(x1, y1) is the circumcentre, then OA2=OB2.
(x1−2)2+(Y1−3)2=(X1−4)2+(Y1+1)2
−4X1−6Y1+8X1−2Y1=17−13=4
i.e., 4X1−8Y1=4 or X1−2Y1=1 ..................(I)
OB2=OC2
X1−4)2+(Y1+1)2=(X1−4)2+(Y1−3)2
2Y1+6Y1=8
8Y1=8 ....................(II)
Y1=1
From (i) X1=3
X1,Y1)=(3,1)

A
The simplest way to find this is to put a rectangle around the given triangle and then subtract off the areas of the right triangles that surround it. (See Figure) The area of the entire rectangle is 126, but after subtracting the areas of the 3 right triangles, whose areas are 54, 3, and 42, we are left with an area of 27.

1st method: - The simplest way to find this is to put a rectangle around the given quadrilateral and then subtract off the areas of the right triangles that surround it. (See Figure) The area of the entire rectangle is 40, but after subtracting the areas of the 4 right triangles, whose areas are 52, 4, 9 and 3. we are left with an area of 21.5.
2nd method: - Area of quadrilateral = 2(x1y2−x2y1)+(x2y3−x3y2)+(x3y4−x4y3)+(x4y1−x1y4)
=12(−4×0−(−1)×2)+(−1×1−4×0)+(4×5−2×1)+(2×2−(−4)×5)=21.5

2x + 2y + 1 = 0 …………….(i)
8x – 2y + 9 = 0 …………………………(ii)
After solving equation (i) and (ii)
x = - 1 and y = 12
(−1,12); which is in 2nd quadrant.

Given, AB = 2BC
AB : BC = 2 : 1
Let C BE (h, k), then
(2h±12±1;2k±72±1) = (6, - 3) [B may divide AC internally or externally]
2h + 1 = 18 and 2k + 7 = - 9
(or) 2h - 1 = 6 , 2k - 7 = - 3
2h = 17 and 2k = - 16 (or) 2h = 7, 2k = 4
h = 172 and k = - 8 (or) h = 72; k = 2
C = (172;−8) or (172;2)
Option(b)
:
A
Option(a)
Slope of the line = y2−y1x2−x1=7−59−7=1
Here (x1,y1) = (7, 5) and (x2,y2) = (9, 7)
:
D
Even without calculations it is clear that (√2,313) cannot lie on the line y = 5x + 3. If x is irrational, y must also be irrational. Option(d)
