    If the coordinates of the vertex A of a \[\Delta ABC\] are (1, 2) and equation of the perpendicular bisectors of AB and AC are 3x + 4y -1 = 0 and 4x + 3y - 5 = 0, then the area of \[\Delta ABC\] is

    A)  2 sq unit                             

    B)  3 sq unit

    C)  1 sq unit                             

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Since, 3x + 4y -1 =0 is the perpendicular bisector of AB, therefore B is the image of A in this .line. \[\therefore \]Coordinates of B are \[\left( 1-\frac{2.3(3.1+4.2-1)}{25},2-\frac{2.4(3.1+4.2-1)}{25} \right)\] \[=\left( -\frac{7}{5},-\frac{6}{5} \right)\] Similarly, coordinates of C are\[\left( -\frac{3}{5},\frac{4}{5} \right).\] \[\therefore \]Area of \[\Delta ABC=\frac{1}{2}\left| \left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 2 & 1  \\    -\frac{7}{3} & -\frac{6}{5} & 1  \\    -\frac{3}{5} & \frac{4}{5} & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right| \right|\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\left| 1\left( -\frac{6}{5}-\frac{4}{5} \right)-2\left( -\frac{7}{5}+\frac{3}{5} \right)+1\left( -\frac{28}{25}-\frac{18}{25} \right) \right|\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\left| \left( -2+\frac{8}{5}-\frac{46}{25} \right) \right|\]     \[=\frac{28}{25}\]sq unit
