उत्तर
The given points A(−1, −4), B(b, c) and C(5, −1) are collinear.
\[\therefore ar\left( ∆ ABC \right) = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\left| x_1 \left( y_2 - y_3 \right) + x_2 \left( y_3 - y_1 \right) + x_3 \left( y_1 - y_2 \right) \right| = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow x_1 \left( y_2 - y_3 \right) + x_2 \left( y_3 - y_1 \right) + x_3 \left( y_1 - y_2 \right) = 0\]
\[\Rightarrow - 1\left[ c - \left( - 1 \right) \right] + b\left[ - 1 - \left( - 4 \right) \right] + 5\left( - 4 - c \right) = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow - c - 1 + 3b - 20 - 5c = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3b - 6c = 21\]
\[ \Rightarrow b - 2c = 7 . . . . . \left( 1 \right)\]
Also, it is given that
2b + c = 4 .....(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
\[2\left( 7 + 2c \right) + c = 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow 14 + 4c + c = 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow 5c = - 10\]
\[ \Rightarrow c = - 2\]
Putting c = −2 in (1), we get
\[b - 2 \times \left( - 2 \right) = 7\]
\[ \Rightarrow b = 7 - 4 = 3\]
Hence, the respective values of b and c are 3 and −2.

Prove that the points (3, 0), (6, 4) and (-1, 3) are the vertices of a right-angled isosceles triangle.
(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
