Answer:

Solution

Correct option is A)

Sol. Let A(1,−2), B(3,6) and C(5,10) be the three vertices of a parallelogram ABCD and let its fourth vertex be D(a,b).

Join AC and BD. Let AC and BD intersect at point O.

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

So, O is the midpoint of AC as well as that of BD.

Using Midpoint formula X=(

Midpoint of AC is (

Midpoint of BD is (

∴

3+a=6 and 6+b=8

a=3 and b=2

Hence, the fourth vertex is D(3,2).
