Question

The points $$\left( {\alpha ,\,\beta ,} \right),\,\left( {\gamma ,\,\delta } \right),\,\left( {\alpha ,\,\delta } \right)$$     and $$\left( {\gamma ,\,\beta } \right)$$  taken in order, where $$\alpha ,\,\beta ,\,\gamma ,\,\delta $$   are different real numbers, are :

A. collinear
B. vertices of a square
C. vertices of a rhombus
D. concyclic  
Answer :   concyclic
Solution :
Let the points be $$A,\,B,\,C$$   and $$D.$$ Clearly
$$\eqalign{ & 'm'\,{\text{of }}AD = 0 = 'm'\,{\text{of }}BC \cr & \therefore AD\left\| {BC} \right\|{\text{ }}x{\text{ - axis}}{\text{. Also }}A{D^2} = B{C^2} \cr & 'm'\,{\text{of }}AC = \infty = 'm'\,{\text{of }}BD \cr & \therefore AC\left\| {BD} \right\|{\text{ }}y{\text{ - axis}}{\text{. Also }}A{C^2} = B{D^2} \cr} $$
