`X` and `Y` are two points on the sides `PQ` and `PR` respectively of the `DeltaPQR`.
`(a)` If `PX=2` units, `XQ=3.5` units,`YR=7` units and `PY=4.25` units, then find whether`XY` and `QR` are parallel or not.
`(b)` If `PQ=8` units, `YR=12` units, `PY=4`units and the length of `PY` is `2` units less than that of `XQ`, then find whether `XY` and `QR` are parallel or not.
