    Find the values of y for which the distance between the points\[P\,\,(2,-\,\,3)\]and \[Q\,\,(10,y)\]is 10 units.

    A)  \[6,4\]                          

    B)  \[-\,\,9,3\]

    C)  \[9,3\]                          

    D)  \[7,9\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    According to question, PQ = 10 \[\sqrt{{{(10-2)}^{2}}+{{(y+3)}^{2}}}=10\] [\[\because \]Distance\[=\sqrt{{{({{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{({{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}})}^{2}}}\]] \[\sqrt{{{(8)}^{2}}+{{(y+3)}^{2}}}=10\] \[\sqrt{64+{{y}^{2}}+9+6y}=10\] \[\sqrt{{{y}^{2}}+6y+73}=10\] On squaring both sides, we get \[{{y}^{2}}+6y+73=100\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{y}^{2}}+6y-27=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{y}^{2}}+9y-3y-27=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[y\,\,(y+9)-3\,\,(y+9)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(y+9)(y-3)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[y=-9\]or \[y=3\]\[\therefore \]\[y=-\,\,9\] or 3
