    The area of a triangle is 5 square units. Two of its vertices are } (2,1) and (3,-2). The third vertex, which lies on the line y=x+3 y = x + 3y=x
    Question

    The area of a triangle is 5 square units. Two of its vertices are } (2,1) and (3,-2). The third vertex, which lies on the line y=x+3 y = x + 3​, is given by:

    A.

    ​​​(72,132),(32,32)\left(-\frac{7}{2}, \frac{13}{2}\right), \quad \left(\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{3}{2}\right) \\​​

    B.

    ​​​(32,32),(72,132)\left(-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right), \quad \left(\frac{7}{2}, \frac{13}{2}\right) \\​​

    C.

    ​​​(32,92)\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{9}{2}\right) \\​​

    D.

    ​​​(132,92)\left(\frac{13}{2}, \frac{9}{2}\right)​​

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Area of triangle} = 5 (square units)
    A(2,1),B(3,2),C(x,y) lies on y=x+3A(2, 1),\quad B(3, -2),\quad C(x, y)\text{ lies on } y = x + 3​​
    Formula used:
    Area =12x1(y2y3)+x2(y3y1)+x3(y1y2) = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right|​​
    Substitute:
    122(2y)+3(y1)+x(1(2))=51242y+3y3+3x=5123x+y7=53x+y7=10\frac{1}{2} \left| 2(-2 - y) + 3(y - 1) + x(1 - (-2)) \right| = 5 \\\frac{1}{2} \left| -4 - 2y + 3y - 3 + 3x \right| = 5 \\\frac{1}{2} \left| 3x + y - 7 \right| = 5 \\\left| 3x + y - 7 \right| = 10​​
    But y=x+3=> y = x + 3 \Rightarrow \\​​
    3x+(x+3)7=104x4=10\left| 3x + (x + 3) - 7 \right| = 10 \\\left| 4x - 4 \right| = 10​​
    Case 14x4=10=>x=144=72,y=132 4x - 4 = 10 \Rightarrow x = \frac{14}{4} = \frac{7}{2},\quad y = \frac{13}{2} \\​​
    Case 24x4=10=>x=64=32,y=32 4x - 4 = -10 \Rightarrow x = \frac{-6}{4} = \frac{-3}{2},\quad y = \frac{3}{2}​​
    Correct options: (72,132),(32,32)\left(\frac{7}{2}, \frac{13}{2}\right),\quad \left(\frac{-3}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right)​​
    Correct answer is (b)
