Question Number 140205 by EnterUsername last updated on 05/May/21
ABCD is a rhombus. Its diagonals AC and BD inter-  sect at M and satisfy BD=2AC. If the points D and  M are represented by the complex numbers 1+i and  2−i, respectively, then A is represented by  (A) 3−i/2         (B) 3+i/2         (C) 1+3i/2         (D) 1−3i/2
