Questions  

A rectangle has two opposite vertices at the points (1, 2) and (5, 5). If the other vertices lie on the line x = 3, , the coordinates of the vertex nearer the axis of x are 

a
(3, 1)
b
(3, 2)
c
(3, 4)
d
(3, 6)

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Let the coordinates of the other vertices lying on x = 3 be 3,y1 and 3,y2Since the diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other, we havey1+y22=5+22⇒y1+y2=7and y2-y1=(5-1)2+(5-2)2=16+9=5If y2>y1 then y2=6,y1=1So that the coordinates of the vertex nearer the axis of x are (3, 1)
