Multiple choice Questions

Question 1
Find the centroid of the triangle XYZ whose vertices are X (3, - 5) Y (- 3, 4) and Z (9, - 2).
(a) (0, 0)
(b) (3, 1)
(c) (2, 3)
(d) (3,-1)
Solution
(d)
Centroid of the triangle is given by
$x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}}{3}=\frac{3-3+9}{3}=3$
$y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}+y_{3}}{3}=\frac{-5+4-2}{3}=-1
$

Question 2
The area of the triangle ABC with coordinates as A (1, 2) B (2, 5) and C (- 2, - 5)
(a)-1
(b) .4
(c)2
(d) 1
Solution
(d)
$A=\frac{1}{2}[1(5+5)+2(-5-2)-2(2-5)]=1$

Question 3
Find the value of p for which these point are collinear  (7,-2) , (5,1) ,(3,p)?
(a) 2
(b) 4
(c) 3
(d) None of these
Solution
a
For these points to be collinear
A=0
Or
$\frac{1}{2}[7(1-p)+5(p+2)+3(-2-1)]=0$
7-7p+5p+10-9=0
p=2

Question 4
Determine the ratio in which the line 2x + y - 4 = 0 divides the line segment joining the points A (2, - 2) and B (3, 7).
(a) 2:9
(b) 1:9
(c)1:2
(d) 2:3
Solution
(a)
Let the ratio be m: n
Now
Coordinate of the intersection
$x=\frac{3m+3n}{m+n}$
$y=\frac{7m-2n}{m+n}$
Now these points should lie of the line, So
$2(\frac{3m+2n}{m+n})+(\frac{7m-n}{m+n})-4=0$
m:n=2:9

Question 5
If the mid-point of the line segment joining the points A (3, 4) and B (a, 4) is P (x, y) and x + y - 20 = 0,then find the value of a
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 40
(d)45
Solution (d)
id point (3+a)/2, 4
Now
(3+a)/2 -4 -20=0
3+a=48
A=45
