Answer
In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. Therefore, the mid-point of AC = mid-point of BD.

By mid-point formula,
(x, y) =
Substituting values, we get :
For diagonal AC :
For diagonal BD:
Since both mid-points are equal, we equate their coordinates:
(x, y) = (6, 3).
Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
