उत्तर
The points are A (2a, 4) and B (-2, 3b).
Let C ( 1,2a + 1) be the mid-point of AB. Then:
` x = (x_1 +x_2) /2 , y = (y_1 +y_2)/2`
` ⇒ 1= (2a (-2))/2 , 2a +1 =(4+3b)/2`
`⇒ 2=2a-2, 4a +2 =4+3b`
⇒2a -2+2, 4a -3b = 4-2
`⇒ a = 4/2 , 4a -3b =2 `
⇒ a =2, 4a -3b =2
Putting the value of a in the equation 4a +3b =2 , we get:
4(2) - 3b =2
⇒ -3b = 2-8=-6
`⇒ b = 6/3 = 2`
Therefore, a =2 and b= 2

(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).
