$C=(-10,8/3)$

Explanation:

$"under a counterclockwise rotation about the origin of "pi/2$

$• " a point "(x,y)to(-y,x)$

$A(3,7)toA'(-7,3)" where A' is the image of A"$

$vec(CB)=color(red)(4)vec(CA')$

$ulb-ulc=4(ula'-ulc)$

$ulb-ulc=4ula'-4ulc$

$3ulc=4ula'-ulb$

$color(white)(3ulc)=4((-7),(3))-((2),(4))$

$color(white)(3ulc)=((-28),(12))-((2),(4))=((-30),(8))$

$ulc=1/3((-30),(8))=((-10),(8/3))$

$rArrC=(-10,8/3)$
