If the points A(3, 0), B(x, 5), C(-1, 4) and D(-2, -1) are the vertic…

The correct answer is Option (3) → 4

Since A, B, C, D are vertices of a rhombus taken in order, all sides are equal.

So,

$AB = BC$

Step 1: Find AB

$A(3,0),\; B(x,5)$

$AB = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (5-0)^2} = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + 25}$

Step 2: Find BC

$B(x,5),\; C(-1,4)$

$BC = \sqrt{(-1-x)^2 + (4-5)^2} = \sqrt{(x+1)^2 + 1}$

Step 3: Equate $AB = BC$

$(x-3)^2 + 25 = (x+1)^2 + 1$

Expand:

$x^2 - 6x + 9 + 25 = x^2 + 2x + 1 + 1$

$x^2 - 6x + 34 = x^2 + 2x + 2$

Cancel $x^2$:

$−6x+34=2x+2$

$-8x = -32$

$x=4$
