Question
The poinr (4, 1) undergoes the following three transformations successively
(I) Reflection about the line y = x
(II) Transformation through a distance 2 unit along the poitive direction of x-axis.
(III) Rotation through an angle
about the origin in the counter clockwise dirction.Then, the final position of the point is given by the coordinates

(III) Rotation through an angle
about the origin in the counter clockwise dirction.Then, the final position of the point is given by the coordinatesOptions
A.

B.(- √2, 7√2)
C.

D.(√2, 7√2)
Solution
Let B, C, D be the position of the point A (4, 1) after the three operations I, II and III respec tively. Then, B is (1, 4), C (1 + 2, 4) ie, (3, 4). The point D is obtained from C by rotating the coordinate axes through an angle π / 4 in anticlockwise direction.
Therefore, the coordinates of D are given by

and
∴ Coordinates of D are
Therefore, the coordinates of D are given by

and
∴ Coordinates of D are
