SECTION – B
Questions 11 to 14 carry 2 marks each.
11. The line segment AB joining the points A(3, –4) and B(1, 2) is trisected at the points P(p, –2)
and Q(5/3, q). Find the values of p and q.
Ans: Now AP : PB = 1 : 2

1 1  2  3 7
p=  p
1 2 3
2  2  1 (4)
Also AQ : QB = 2 : 1 q= 0
1 2

12. Find the point on x-axis which is equidistant from the points (2, – 5) and (–2, 9).
Ans: Let point on x-axis be P(a, 0) and given that A(2, –5) and B(–2, 9) are equidistant.
PA = PB

Squaring both sides, we get

a2 + 4 – 4a + 25 = a2 + 4 + 4a + 81
–8a = 56 a = –7
Hence the required point is (–7, 0)

13. Find the value of x such that PQ = QR where the coordinates of P, Q and R are (6, –1), (1, 3) and
(x, 8) respectively.
Ans: Here, P (6, – 1), Q (1, 3) and R (x, 8)
Given PQ = QR

Squaring both sides, we get

41 = x2 – 2x + 26 x2 – 2x + 26 – 41 = 0 x2 – 2x – 15 = 0
x2 – 5x + 3x – 15 = 0 x(x – 5) + 3(x – 5) = 0
(x – 5) (x + 3) = 0
either x – 5 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
x = 5 or x = – 3
So x = 5 or – 3

14. Find the coordinates of the point of trisection of the line segment joining (1, –2) and (–3, 4).

AB = BC = CD = DA = 34
Diagonal AC = diagonal BD = 68
Hence A, B, C and D are vertices of a square.

Ans: Let the line x – y – 2 = 0, divides the line segment joining (3, – 1) and (8, 9) in the ratio k : 1
and let the coordinates of the required point be (x1, y1).

18. Find the centre of a circle passing through (5, – 8), (2, – 9) and (2, 1).
Ans: Let H(x, y) is centre of circle passing through A, B and C. Since AH, BH and CH are radius
of circle.

AH = BH and BH = CH
Also AH2 = BH2 and BH2 = CH2
AH2 = (x – 5)2 + (y + 8)2 = x2 + 25 – 10x + y2 + 64 + 16y
BH2 = (x – 2)2 + (y + 9)2 = x2 + 4 – 4x + y2 + 81 + 18y

 CH2 = (x – 2)2 + (y – 1)2 = x2 + 4 – 4x + y2 + 1 – 2y
AH2 = BH2 [Radii of a circle]
x2 + 25 – 10x + y2 + 64 + 16y = x2 + 4 – 4x + y2 + 81 + 18y
– 10x + 4x + 16y – 18y = – 4
– 6x – 2y = – 4 3x + y = 2 ...(i)
Also BH2 = CH2
x2 + 4 – 4x + y2 + 81 + 18y = x2 + 4 – 4x + y2 + 1 – 2y
18y + 2y = 1 – 81
20y = – 80 y=–4
Putting value of y in (i), we get
3x + (–4) = 2 3x = 2 + 4 3x = 6 x = 2
Coordinates of centre are (2, –4).

space in the form of a square PQRS inside the field from growing wheat and the remaining for
growing vegetables (as shown in the figure). In the field, there is a pole marked as O.
