PA = PB
= 2 2 units

So, reason is also true.
⇒ ( 0 − 6 )2 + ( y − 5 )2 = ( 0 + 4 )2 + ( y − 3 )2

zero.

(v) Option (C) is correct. −7 k + 4

Explanation: k +1

Since, C = (9, 4), D = (6, 1) ⇒

 \ All the four sides are equal.

where, (x1, y1) = (4, p) or, PQRS is a rhombus.
(x2, y2) = (1, 0)
And, d =5 Diagonal, PR = ( −2 − 2 )2 + ( 3 + 1)2 = 32 unit
Put the values, we have

But, PQ2 + QR2 = 26 + 26 = 52 ≠
25 = (–3)2 + (–p)2
   25 – 9 = p2 So, DPQR is not a right triangle.
16 = p2 Hence, PQRS is a rhombus but not a square. 1
