Answer Key / Explanation : ((i) a (ii) a (iii) c (iv) c (v) b) -

(i) (a) $\left(4, \frac{13}{3}\right)$
Explanation :
The co-ordinate of $P$ and $R$ are $(2,5)$ and $(8,3)$ is
$
\begin{aligned}
&X=\frac{m_{1} x_{2}+m_{2} x_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}=\frac{1(8)+2(2)}{3} \\
&=\frac{12}{3}=4
\end{aligned}
$
$y=\frac{m_{1} y_{2}+m_{2} y_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}=\frac{1(3)+2(5)}{3}=\frac{13}{3}$

(ii) (a) $2 \sqrt{10}$ units
Explanation :
$
\begin{aligned}
&P R=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}} \\
&=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(3-5)^{2}} \\
&=\sqrt{\left(2^{2}+22^{2}\right.}=\sqrt{40}=2 \sqrt{10} \text { units }
\end{aligned}
$
(iii) (c) $\left(\frac{13}{9}, 0\right)$
Explanation :
Let $\mathrm{A}(x, 0)$ be the point on $x$-axis which is equidistant from $P$ and $Q$, then we have $\mathrm{PA}=\mathrm{QA}$
The coordinate point of $\mathrm{Q}=\left(4, \frac{13}{3}\right)$
$
\begin{aligned}
&\Rightarrow \mathrm{PA}^{2}=\mathrm{QA}^{2} \\
&(2-x)^{2}+(5-0)^{2}=(4-x)^{2}+\left(\frac{13}{3}-0\right)^{2}
\end{aligned}
$

$
\begin{aligned}
&\Rightarrow 4+x^{2}-4 x+25=16+x^{2}-8 x+\frac{1 \oplus 9}{9} \\
&\Rightarrow 4 x=16+\frac{1 \oplus}{9}-4-25 \\
&\Rightarrow x=\frac{13}{9}
\end{aligned}
$
Hence the point $\left(\frac{13}{9}, 0\right)$.
(iv) (c) $(5,4)$
Explanation:
Mid-point of $\mathrm{PR}=\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)$
$
\begin{aligned}
&=\left(\frac{2+8}{2}, \frac{5+3}{2}\right) \\
&=\left(\frac{10}{2}, \frac{8}{2}\right) \\
&=(5,4)
\end{aligned}
$
(v) (b) $(6,2)$
Explanation :
The co-ordinates of point $\mathrm{R}$ is $(6,2)$.
