Solution
The correct option is A(3,−4) From equation we get (x−1)2+(y+2)2=8 So centre =(1,−2) ,radius =√8 =2√2 So diameter =4√2 Now side AB=diameter√2=4 Let coordinator of B be (a,b) Since AB∥x−axis&BC∥y−axis&AD∥y−axis ⇒A=(a−4,b),C=(a,b−4),D=(a−4,b−4) Now O is centre Hence midpoint of BD So 1=a+a−42,−2=b+b−42 6=2a,−4=2b−4 ⇒a=3,b=0 Co ordinates A=(−1,0) B=(3,0) C=(3,−4) D=(−1,−4)
