Dear Chanchal ,

we are given AD =3AB , AB +BD  = 3AB ;  2AB = BD , therefore B divides AD in the ratio of 1:2.

let d be (x,y ) then applying formulae ,

   2  = (x +2)/3 ;  x = 4 and -3 = (y +2)/3 =-3 ; y =-11

ans    let D(x,y)

           let AB=k and AD= 3k

           x=3k(2)+k(1)/4k = 6k+k/4k = 7/4.

           y=3k(-3)+k(1)/4k = -9k+k/4k = -2.

   HENCE D(7/4,-2).Smile

AD = 3AB
SO, AB +BD = 3AB
BD = 2AB
Therefore, using formula, 
 2 = (X+2)/3 = x ; and -3 = (y+2)/3 = y
So, X= 4 and y = -11
