ONE MARK QUESTION The reflection of point (- 3, 5) in x - axis is (- 3, - 5).
Multiple Choice Question
1. The point P on x -axis equidistant from the points

A (- 1, 0) and B (5, 0) is
(a) (2, 0) (b) (0, 2)
(c) (3, 0) (d) (- 3, 5)
Ans : [Board 2020 OD Standard]
Let the position of the point P on x -axis be (x, 0),

then
Thus (c) is correct option.
PA2 = PB2
3. If the point P (6, 2) divides the line segment joining
(x + 1) 2 + (0) 2 = (5 − x) 2 + (0) 2
A (6, 5) and B (4, y) in the ratio 3 : 1 then the value
x2 + 2x + 1 = 25 + x2 − 10x of y is
(a) 4 (b) 3
2x + 10x = 25 − 1
(c) 2 (d) 1
12x = 24 & x = 2
Hence, the point P (x, 0) is (2, 0).
Thus (a) is correct option. As per given information in question we have drawn
Alternative : the figure below,
You may easily observe that both point A (- 1, 0)
and B (5, 0) lies on x -axis because y ordinate is zero.
Thus point P on x -axis equidistant from both point
must be mid point of A (- 1, 0) and B (5, 0). Here, x1 = 6 , y1 = 5

(c) 13 (d) 169
We have x1 = a cos θ + b sin θ and y1 = 0 Ans :
and x2 = 0 and y2 = a sin θ − b cos θ The distance between the origin and the point (x, y)
is x2 + y2 .
d2 = (x2 − x1) 2 + (y2 − y1) 2
Therefore, the distance between the origin and point
= (0 − a cos θ − b sin θ) 2 + (a sin θ − b cos θ − 0) 2
(- 12, 5)
= (− 1) 2 (a cos θ + b sin θ) 2 + (a sin θ − b cos θ) 2

d = (− 12 − 0) 2 + (5 − 0) 2
= a2 cos2 θ + b2 sin2 θ + 2ab cos θ sin θ + = 144 + 25 = 169

+ a2 sin2 θ + b2 cos2 θ − 2ab sin θ cos θ = 13 units

= a2 (sin2 θ + cos2 θ) + b2 (sin2 θ + cos2 θ)

Ans : [Board Term-2 OD 2016] We assume A as origin (0, 0), AB as x -axis and AD
Since P ^x, y h is equidistant from the given points as y -axis.

distance covered (parallel to AD ),
PA = PB
PA2 = PB2 = 1 # 100 = 25 m

Using distance formula, Thus co-ordinates of green flag are (2, 25) and we
label it as P i.e., P (2, 25).
^5 − x h2 + ^1 − y h2 = ^− 1 − x h2 + ^5 − y h2 Similarly, Preet runs in the eighth line with red flag
^5 − x h2 + ^1 − y h2 = ^1 + x h2 + ^5 − y h2 and distance covered (parallel to AD ),
25 − 10x + 1 − 2y = 1 + 2x + 25 − 10y = 1 # 100 = 20 m

(i) Distance travelled by seema Now AB = (3 − 6) 2 + (4 − 7) 2
CA = (− 4 − 1) 2 + (4 − 7) 2 = 9 + 9 = 18 = 3 2 units

BC = (6 − 9) 2 + (7 − 4) 2

units CD = (9 − 6) 2 + (4 − 1) 2
Thus distance travelled by seema is 34 units. = 9 + 9 = 18 = 3 2 units

Similarly, distance travelled by Aditya
DA = (6 − 3) 2 + (1 − 4) 2
CB = (4 + 4) 2 + (4 − 2) 2
= 9 + 9 = 18 = 3 2 units

= 82 + 22 = 64 + 4

Now AC = (3 − 9) 2 + (4 − 4) 2

Distance travelled by Aditya is 68 units and Aditya = 36 + 0 = 6 units

Thus (c) is correct option. 6k = 3 & k = 1

11. The mid-point of the line-segment AB is P (0, 4), m1 y2 + m2 y1 1 # 3 + 2 (− 9)

Thus (x, y) = ^6, − 5h and this point lies in IV

Given, points are A (4, p) and B (1, 0).

49. If the mid-point of the line segment joining the points

If P (x, y) is mid point of A (3, 4) and B (k, 6), then

Substituting above value in x + y − 10 = 0 we have x -coordinate of C ,

As per question, line diagram is shown below. AB = ^0 − 2h2 + ^0 − 4h2 = 16 = 4

53. The ordinate of a point A on y-axis is 5 and B has

AB = ^x2 − x1h2 + ^y2 − y1h2 We have BQ = 5 AB

Perpendicular from point A ^5, 12h on y-axis touch it Thus AQ : BQ = 2: 5
