If origin is shifted to the point (2,3) without rotation of axes then, the coordinates of the point P which divides the join of A(4,8) and B(7,14) in the ratio 1:2 or 2:1 with respect to the new system of coordinates can be

Solution
The correct options are B(3,7) C(4,9) Coordinates of P can be (8+73,16+143) or (14+43,28+83) ....(hint: using ratio formula)
=> (15/3, 30/3) or (18/3, 36/3) =(5,10) or (6,12) in old system of coordinates. =(5−2,10−3) or (6−2,12−3) in new system of coordinates =(3,7) or (4,9)
