    Two consecutive sides of a parallelogram are \[4x+5y=0\] and\[7x+2y=0\]. One diagonal of the parallelogram is\[11x+7y=9\]. If the other diagonal is\[ax+by+c=0,\]then:

    A)  \[a=-1,b=-1,c=2\]

    B)  \[a=1,b=-1,c=0\]

    C)  \[a=-1,b=-1,c=0\]

    D)  \[a=1,b=1,c=0\]

    E)  \[a=-1,b=-1,c=1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since, the co-ordinates of three vertices A, B and C are\[\left( \frac{5}{3},-\frac{4}{3} \right),(0,0)\]and\[\left( -\frac{2}{3},\frac{7}{3} \right)\] respectively, also the midpoint of AC is\[\left( \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} \right)\], therefore the equation of line passing through\[\left( \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} \right)\]and (0,0) is given by \[x-y=0,\]which is the required equation of another diagonal, so \[a=1,\text{ }b=-1\]and\[c=0\].
