Detailed Solution

Given vertex of parallelogram,
A(7,4),C(2,6)   and B(2,1)  .  Let the fourth vertex is D x,y  .
Since, we know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
So, we can say that,
Midpoint of AC=Midpoint of BD Since, if the coordinates of two points are x 1 , y 1   and x 2 , y 2   then the coordinate of the middle point of the two points will be x 1 + x 2 2 , y 1 + y 2 2  .
Question Image So, the other endpoint is 1,0  .
Hence, option (3) is correct.
