Detailed Solution

It is given that the three vertices of a parallelogram ABCD are A(2,3),B(6,7)   and C(8,3)  .
We know that the parallelogram's diagonals bisect each other, and the midpoint of the coordinates of both diagonals is equal.
Let, the fourth unknown vertex be (x, y).
Let us draw the figure.
Question ImageBy the property of the parallelogram, the midpoint of AC = the midpoint of BD.
The midpoint formula is given by Px,y=x2+x12, y2+y12
By placing the values in the above relation, we get the below value.
( 2+8 2 , 3+3 2 )=( 6+x 2 , 7+y 2 )  
On simplifying the above expression, we get -
(3,3)=( 6+x 2 , 7+y 2 )  
On comparing the respective co-ordinates, we get the value of x and y as,
3= 6+x 2 ,3= 7+y 2   x=0   and y=(1)  
Hence, (x,y)=(0,1)  
Since, we get the fourth coordinate (x,y)=(0,1)  ​.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
