Correct Answer: (–7, –3)


Solution : Given: The coordinates of the point A are (11, 5).
Let the co-ordinates of the point B be $(x,y)$.
Since, the point P (2, 1) is the mid-point,
⇒ $2=\frac{11+x}{2}$
⇒ $2×2=11+x$
⇒ $x=–7$
Similarly, $1=\frac{5+y}{2}$
⇒ $1×2=5+y$
⇒ $y=–3$
So, the coordinates of B are (–7,–3).
Hence, the correct answer is (–7,–3).
