If P(1,2), Q(4,6), R(5,7), S(a,b) are the vertices of parellelogram PQRS, then

PRACTICE FOR BITSAT HERE

a=3, b=4 a=2, b=3 a=2, b=4 a=3,b=0

E q u a t i n g s l o p e o f P Q a n d R S , b 7 a 5 = 4 3 4 a 3 b = 1 ( 1 ) Equating\quad slope\quad of\quad PQ\quad and\quad RS,\\ \frac { b-7 }{ a-5 } =\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \\ \therefore 4a-3b=-1\quad -----\left( 1 \right) \\

E q u a t i n g s l o p e o f P S a n d R Q , b 2 a 1 = 1 1 a b = 1 ( 2 ) Equating\quad slope\quad of\quad PS\quad and\quad RQ,\\ \frac { b-2 }{ a-1 } =\frac { 1 }{ 1 } \\ \therefore a-b=-1\quad -----\left( 2 \right) \\

a = 2 a n d b = 3 \therefore a=2\quad and\quad b=3

Isn't the slope of RQ = infinity ??? rather than 1 ??

Sorry Saurabh I posted a wrong question. The coordinates of Q are (4,6) rather than (5,6), sorry for that and thanks for the observations
