  1. correct answer is ---
    E


    the first option is ruled out by observation.
    in options b,c,d:two points have their x-coordinates same but y-coordinates different.the remaining third point has the y-coordinate in middle of the y-coordinates of the other two points.
    for eg,consider option c:A(1,3),B(1,7),C(4,5)
    pts A and B have their x-coordinates equal.
    y-coordinate of C is in middle of the y-coordinates od A and B.
    so,it will form an isoceles triangle.

    SO ANSWER IS E
