Let and let and be the vertices of a parallelogram . If and the points and lie on the line , then is equal to
- A8
- B5
- C12
- D10
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Use the parallelogram property
In parallelogram with vertices in order , the diagonals bisect each other. So midpoint of equals midpoint of .
Given:
Midpoint of is
Hence midpoint of is also , so Therefore, Thus, So,
This already suggests option A.
- Check consistency with the other conditions
We are also given that and lie on the line
Since lies on it, Also, where , so
Now test integer solutions.
From so must be odd.
Try odd integer values of such that distance condition may hold:
- If , then and
- If , then and Works.
- If , then and
- If , then and distance is too large.
Hence
Using midpoint of , So
Check: lies on : correct.
Now compute: therefore
- Evaluate options
- A: ✅
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
So the correct answer is A.
