    A) scalene

    B)                        equilateral triangle        

    C)                        isosceles

    D)                        right angled isosceles

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Let equation of \[AB:x+3y=4\] Let equation of\[BC:3x+y=4\] Let equation of \[CA:x+y=0\] Now, By solving these equations we get \[A=(-2,2),B=(1,1)\]and\[C=(2,-2)\] Now,\[AB=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10},\] \[BC=\sqrt{1+9}=\sqrt{10}\] and\[CA=\sqrt{16+16}=\sqrt{32}\] Since, length of AB and BC are same therefore triangle is isosceles.
