Solution

The correct options are
A (92,12)
B (−12,52)
Given-
ABCD is a square with A(3,4) & C(1,−1).
To find out-
The coordinates of B & C
Solution-
Let the coordinates of B=(x,y).
Since ABCD is a square,
AB=BC⟹AB2=BC2.
Using distance formula,
(x−3)2+(y−4)2=(x−1)2+(y+1)2
⟹4x+10y−23=0
⟹x=(23−10y4) .........(i).
Now, in ΔABC,
AB2+BC2=AC2
⟹(x−3)2+(y−4)2+(x−1)2+(y+1)2=(3−1)2+(4+1)2
⟹x2+y2−4x−3y=0.
Substituting for x from (i),
(23−10y4)2+y2−4(23−10y4)−3y=0
⟹4y2−12y+5=0
⟹(2y−1)(2y−5)=0
⟹y=(12,52).
Substituting for y in (i),
(x,y)=(92,12) & (−12,52)
Now abscissae of A & C are 3 & 1, respectively.
∴ Abscissa of B will be in between 1 & 3.
So here, 92 will be the abscissa of B.
∴ Coordinates of B & D are (92,12) & (−12,52), respectively.
