One side of the triangle is parallel to the $$y$$-axis and another side is parallel to the $$x$$-axis. So, the triangle is a right-angled triangle. Hence, the middle point of the hypotenuse is the circumcenter. Solving $$x=2,\,x+2y=4$$ we get one end of the hypotenuse, and solving $$y+1=0,\,x+2y=4$$ we get the other end. Their coordinates are $$\left( {2,\,1} \right)$$ and $$\left( {6,\, - 1} \right).$$
$$\therefore {\text{circumcentre}} = \left( {\frac{{2 + 6}}{2},\,\frac{{1 - 1}}{2}} \right)$$

If the sum of the distances of a point from two perpendicular lines in a plane is $$1,$$ then its locus is :
Let the two perpendicular lines be the coordinate axes and let the point be $$P\left( {h,\,k} \right).$$
Then sum of the distances of $$P\left( {h,\,k} \right)$$ from the coordinate axes is $$\left| h \right| + \left| k \right|.$$ It is given that $$\left| h \right| + \left| k \right| = 1.$$
So, locus of $$\left( {h,\,k} \right)$$ is $$\left| x \right| + \left| y \right| = 1.$$ This gives four lines $$x + y = 1,\, x - y = 1,\, -x + y = 1,\, -x - y = 1$$ which enclose a square.
13.
The range of values of the ordinate of a point moving on the line $$x=1,$$ and always remaining in the interior of the triangle formed by the lines $$y=x$$ the $$x$$-axis and $$x+y=4,$$ is :
From the figure, $$y$$-coordinates of $$P$$ vary from $$0$$ to $$1$$. So, to be an interior point,
$$0<$$ ordinate of $$P<1$$
14.
What is the radius of the circle passing through the point $$\left( {2,\,4} \right)$$ and having centre at the intersection of the lines $$x - y = 4$$ and $$2x + 3y + 7 = 0\,?$$
$$3x+4y = 0$$ is one of the lines of the pair
$$\eqalign{
& 6{x^2} - xy + 4c{y^2} = 0, \cr
& {\text{Put}}\,\,y = - \frac{3}{4}x, \cr
& {\text{we get}}\,\,6{x^2} + \frac{3}{4}{x^2} + 4c{\left( { - \frac{3}{4}x} \right)^2} = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow 6 + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{{9c}}{4} = 0\,\, \Rightarrow c = - 3\, \cr} $$
16.
$$ABC$$ is an isosceles triangle in which $$A$$ is $$\left( { - 1,\,0} \right),\,\angle A = \frac{{2\pi }}{3},\,AB = AC$$ and
$$AB$$ is along the $$x$$-axis. If $$BC = 4\sqrt 3 $$ then the equation of the line $$BC$$ is :
$$\because $$ $$A$$ is the mid point of $$PQ,$$ therefore
$$\frac{{a + 0}}{2} = 3,\,\frac{{0 + b}}{2} = 4\,\, \Rightarrow a = 6,\,\,b = 8$$
$$\therefore $$ Equation of line is $$\frac{x}{6} + \frac{y}{8} = 1{\text{ or }}4x + 3y = 24$$
18.
The combined equation of the pair of lines through the point $$\left( {1,\,0} \right)$$ and parallel to the lines represented by $$2{x^2} - xy - {y^2} = 0$$ is :
We have the equation
$$\eqalign{
& 2{x^2} - xy - {y^2} = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow \left( {2x + y} \right)\left( {x - y} \right) = 0 \cr} $$
If $$\left( {h,\,k} \right)$$ be the point then remaining pair is $$\left( {2x + y + h} \right)\left( {x - y + k} \right) = 0$$
Where, $$2x + y + h = 0$$ and $$x - y + k = 0$$
It passes through the point $$\left( {1,\,0} \right)$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \,2 \times 1 + 0 + h = 0 \Rightarrow 2 + h = 0 \Rightarrow h = - 2 \cr
& {\text{and }}1 - 0 + k = 0 \Rightarrow 1 + k = 0 \Rightarrow k = - 1 \cr} $$
$$\therefore $$ Required pair is
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {2x + y - 2} \right)\left( {x - y - 1} \right) = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow 2{x^2} - 2xy - 2x + xy - {y^2} - y - 2x + 2y + 2 = 0 \cr
& \therefore \,2{x^2} - xy - {y^2} - 4x + y + 2 = 0 \cr} $$
19.
Let $$A = \left( {1,\,2} \right),\,B = \left( {3,\,4} \right)$$ and let $$C = \left( {x,\,y} \right)$$ be a point such that $$\left( {x - 1} \right)\left( {x - 3} \right) + \left( {y - 2} \right)\left( {y - 4} \right) = 0.$$ If ar $$\left( {\Delta ABC} \right) = 1$$ then maximum number of positions of $$C$$ in the $$x-y$$ plane is :
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {x - 1} \right)\left( {x - 3} \right) + \left( {y - 2} \right)\left( {y - 4} \right) = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow AC \bot BC\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \angle ACB = {90^ \circ } \cr
& \therefore C{\text{ is on the circle whose diameter is }}AB \cr
& AB = 2\sqrt 2 \cr
& {\text{As ar }}\left( {\Delta ABC} \right) = 1,\,\frac{1}{2}.2\sqrt 2 .\left( {{\text{altitude}}} \right) = 1 \cr
& \therefore {\text{altitude}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}{\text{ < radius}}{\text{.}} \cr
& {\text{So, there are four possible positions of }}C. \cr
& {\bf{Note:}} \cr
& {\text{If ar}}\left( {\Delta ABC} \right) = 2,{\text{ altitude}} = {\text{radius }}\, \Rightarrow {\text{ two possible positions of }}C. \cr} $$

If $${x_1},{x_2},\,{x_3}$$ as well as $${y_1},{y_2},\,{y_3},$$ are in G.P. with the same common ratio, then the points $$\left( {{x_1},\,{y_1}} \right),\,\left( {{x_2},\,{y_2}} \right)$$ and $$\left( {{x_3},\,{y_3}} \right).$$
