Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given,

AA\left(- 2, - 1\right), B\left(1, 0\right), C\left(\alpha, \beta\right)andandD(γ,δ)D\left(\gamma, \delta\right) be the vertices of a parallelogram ABCDABCD

And the point CC lies on 2x−y=52x - y = 5 and the point DD lies on 3x−2y=63x - 2y = 6,

Now, plotting the diagram we get,

Let A (- 2, - 1) , B (1, 0) , C (α, β) and D (γ, ) be the vertices of a parallelogram ABCD . If the point C lies on 2x

Now, using the midpoint formula we get,

P≡(α−22,β−12)≡(γ+12,δ2)P ≡ \left(\dfrac{\alpha - 2}{2}, \dfrac{\beta - 1}{2}\right) ≡ \left(\dfrac{\gamma + 1}{2}, \dfrac{\delta}{2}\right)

Now, on comparing we get,

α−22=γ+12\dfrac{\alpha - 2}{2} = \dfrac{\gamma + 1}{2} and β−12=δ2\dfrac{\beta - 1}{2} = \dfrac{\delta}{2}

⇒α−γ=3...(1),β−δ=1...(2)⇒ \alpha - \gamma = 3 . . . ( 1 ) , \beta - \delta = 1 . . . ( 2 )

Also, given (γ,δ)\left(\gamma, \delta\right) lies on 3x−2y=63x - 2y = 6

⇒3γ−2δ=6...(3)⇒ 3\gamma - 2\delta = 6 . . . \left(3\right)

And \left(\alpha, \beta\right)liesonlies on2x - y = 5</p><p></p><p>⇒ 2\alpha - \beta = 5 . . . ( 4 )</p><p>Onsolvingequations</p><p>On solving equations( 1 ) , ( 2 ) , ( 3 ) , ( 4 )weget,</p><p>we get,</p><p>\alpha = - 3, \beta = - 11, \gamma = - 6, \delta = - 12</p><p>Hence, ∣α+β+γ+δ∣=∣−3−11−6−12∣=32</p><p>Hence, \left|\alpha + \beta + \gamma + \delta\right| = \left|- 3 - 11 - 6 - 12\right| = 32
