Answer:
Let A(x
1
y
1
),B(x
2
,y
2
)andC(x
3
,y
3
) be the vertices of △ABC.
Let D(1,2) ,E(0,-1) and F(2,-1) be the mid -points of sides BC,AC and AB
Since D is the mid point of BC.
A(x
1
y
1
),B(x
2
,y

)andC(x
3
,y

)
∴

=2
⟹x

=4→ (i)
Similarly , E and F are the mid-points of CA and Ab respectively
∴

=−1
⟹x

∴
2
x

=−1
⟹x

=−2→(3)
From (1),(2),and(3)
(x

(y

)=4−2−2
⟹x

=0→(4)
From (1) and (4)
x

+2=3andy
1
+4=0
⟹x

=1andy
1
=−4∴(1,−4)
From (2) and (4)
x
2
+0=3andy
2
−2=0
⟹(x

,y
2
)=B(3,2)
From (3) and (4)
x
3
+4=3andy
3
−2=0
∴(x

,y
3
)=C(−1,2)
∴ Coordinate of △ABC are ⇒ (1,−4);B(3,2);C(−1,2)
