    A) P-3,      Q-4,     R-2,     S-1

    B) P-1,      Q-2,     R-4,     S-3

    C) P-4,      Q-1,     R-3,     S-2

    D) P-3,      Q-2,     R-4,     S-1

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (P) Distance between (- 6,7) and (-1, - 5)
    \[=\sqrt{{{\left( -1+6 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( -5-7 \right)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 12 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{25+144}=\sqrt{169}=13\,\]units
    (Q) The given points are A (k, - 5) and B (2, 7).
    Now, \[AB=13\Rightarrow A{{B}^{2}}=169\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{\left( 2-k \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 7+5 \right)}^{2}}=169\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{k}^{2}}-4k+4+144=169\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{k}^{2}}-4k-21=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \left( k-7 \right)\left( k+3 \right)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,k=7\] or \[k=-3\]
    [R] P (x, y), A(5, 1), B(-1, 5)
    \[PA=PB\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,P{{A}^{2}}=P{{B}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{\left( 5-x \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 1-y \right)}^{2}}={{\left( -1-x \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 5-y \right)}^{2}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,25+{{x}^{2}}-10x+1+{{y}^{2}}-2y\]
    \[=1+{{x}^{2}}+2x+25+{{y}^{2}}-10y\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,3x=2y\]
    (S) (x, y), (2, 3) and (4, 1) are collinear, then x(3 - 1) + 2(1 - y) + 4 (y - 3) = 0
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,2x+2-2y+4y-12=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,x+y=5\]
