Section – A
1. If (-2, -1), (a,0) , (4, b) and (1, 2) are the vertices of a parallelogram, find the values of
‘a’ and ‘b’. (Ans: a =1, b =3)
2. If the centre and radius of circle is (3, 4) and 7 units respectively, then what is the position
of the point A (5, 8) with respect to the circle? (Ans: interior point)
𝑎

12. Find the coordinates of the point equidistant from three given points A(5, 1), B(-3, -7) and
C( 7, -1) (Ans:2, - 4)
13. In what ratio does the line 𝑥 − 𝑦 − 2 = 0 divide the line segment joining the points
A (3, -1) and B (8, 9)? (Ans: 2:3)
14. Show that if the point P (x, y) is equidistant from the points A (a+b, b-a) and B (a-b, a+b)
then bx = ay

2) Ajay, Bhigu and Colin are fast friend since childhood. They always want to sit in
a row in the classroom . But teacher doesn’t allow them and rotate the seats row-
wise everyday. Bhigu is very good in maths and he does distance calculation
everyday. He consider the centre of class as origin and marks their position on a
paper in a co-ordinate system. One day Bhigu make the following diagram of their
seating position.

i. What are the coordinates of point A?
v. A point D lies on the line segment between points A and B such that AD : DB =
4 : 3 . What are the coordinates of point D?
