The point $(3,2)$ undergoes the following three transformations in the order given (i) Reflection about the line $y=x$. (ii) Translation by the distance 1 unit in the positive direction of $x$-axis. (iii) Rotation by an angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ about the origin in the anti-clockwise direction. Then, the final position of the point is
  1. $(-\sqrt{18}, \sqrt{18})$
  2. $(-2,3)$
  3. $(0, \sqrt{18})$
  4. $(0,3)$

Solution

Given point is $(3,2)$. (i) Reflection of point $(3,2)$ about the line $y=x$ is $(2,3)$. (ii) Translation of a point through 1 unit distance in the positive direction of $x$-axis is $(3,3)$. (iii) $\begin{aligned} X & =-x \cos \theta+y \sin \theta \\ & =\left(-\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=0\end{aligned}$ and $Y=x \sin \theta+y \cos \theta$ $=\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=3 \sqrt{2}=\sqrt{18}$ Hence, final position is $(0, \sqrt{18})$.
