Solution

The correct option is A. (6,3)

The given points are: A(1,2),B(4,y),C(x,6), and D(3,5)

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Also, we know that mid-point of the line joining two points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) is given by (x1+x22,y1+y22)

Mid point of AC=(1+x2,2+62)=(1+x2,4)

Mid point of BD=(4+32,5+y2)=(72,5+y2)

Now,

Mid point of AC=Mid point of BD

(1+x2,4)=(72,5+y2)

1+x2=72, 4=5+y2

1+x=7, 5+y=8

x=71, y=85

x=6, y=3.
