Answer: Option A. -> 27
:
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.

Answer: Option D. -> 21 .5
:
D

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.


Find The Area Of Quadrilateral Formed By Joining The Points ...


2nd method: - Area of quadrilateral = 2(x1y2x2y1)+(x2y3x3y2)+(x3y4x4y3)+(x4y1x1y4)
=12(4×0(1)×2)+(1×14×0)+(4×52×1)+(2×2(4)×5)=21.5


Question 85.


The lines 2x + 2y + 1 = 0 and 8x – 2y + 9 = 0 intersect in the


  1.     1st quadrant
  2.     2nd quadrant
  3.     3rd quadrant
  4.     4th quadrant
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2nd quadrant
:
B

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.


Question 86.


Three points A, B and C are collinear such that AB = 2BC. If the coordinates of the points A and B are (1, 7) and (6, -3) respectively, then the coordinates of the point C can be


  1.     (72;2)
  2.      (172;8)
  3.     (172;8)
  4.     (172;2)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. ->  (172;8)
:
B

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)

  4.     (2,313)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> (2,313)
:
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)
