उत्तर
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Explanation:
The coordinates of the point that divides a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in the ratio m:n are given by the section formula:
`((mx_2 + nx_1)/(m + n), (my_2 + ny_1)/(m + n))`
Here, if the point (−3, k) divides the segment in the ratio 1: 2 between (−5, 4) and (−2, 3), then we can plug these values into the section formula:
`- 3 = (1(-2) + 2(-5))/(1 + 2)`
`- 3 = (- 2 - 10)/3`
`-3 = -4`
This is not true. Therefore, the x - x-coordinate does not satisfy the 1:2 division ratio.

Which of the points P(-1, 1), Q(3, - 4), R(1, -1), S (-2, -3), T(-4, 4) lie in the fourth quadrant?
If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
