Answer

The co-ordinates of point P are: Distance Formula, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Since, OPQ is right angled triangle. Using pythagoras theorem,

⇒ Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Height2

⇒ OP2 = OQ2 + QP2

⇒ 52 = 32 + QP2

⇒ 25 = 9 + QP2

⇒ QP2 = 25 - 9

⇒ QP2 = 16

⇒ QP = 16\sqrt{16}

⇒ QP = 4 units

Since, OQ = 3 units and QP = 4 units.

The co-ordinates of point P are (3, 4).

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
