उत्तर
It is given that mid-point of line segment joining A (6, 5) and B (4, y) is P(x , 6)
In general to find the mid-point P( x, y) of two points`A(x_1 , y_1) " and B " ( x_2 , y_ 2)` we use section formula as,
`P(x , y) = ((x_1 + x_2) /2 , (y_1 + y_2) / 2)`
So,
`(x , 6 ) = ((4+6)/2 , (y+5)/2)`
Now equate the y component to get,
`(y + 5)/2 = 6`
So,
y = 7

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`.
Statement A (Assertion): If the coordinates of the mid-points of the sides AB and AC of ∆ABC are D(3, 5) and E(–3, –3) respectively, then BC = 20 units.
Statement R (Reason): The line joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half of it.
