    The points (2, 3), (3, 4), (5, 6) and (4, 5) are the vertices of a

    A) Parallelogram

    B) Triangle

    C) Square

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the points are A (2, 3), B (3,4), C(5,6) and D (4, 5).
    Then, by distance formula
    \[AB=\sqrt{{{\left( 3-2 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 4-3 \right)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{\left( 1 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 1 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{2}\] units
    \[BC=\sqrt{{{\left( 5-3 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 6-4 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 2 \right)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{4+4}\]
    \[=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}\] units
    \[CD=\sqrt{{{\left( 4-5 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 5-6 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{{{\left( -1 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( -1 \right)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{2}\] units
    and\[AD=\sqrt{{{\left( 4-2 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 5-3 \right)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 2 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{4+4}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}\]units
    Here, \[AB=CD\]and \[AD=BC\] i.e. the opposite sides are equal. So, given points are vertices of a parallelogram.
