(A(2,3,5), B( , 3,3) ) and (C(7,5, ) ) are the vertices of a triangle. If the median through (A ) is equally inclined with the co-ordinate axes, then ( ⁻¹ ( )= )
Options
- A( ⁻¹ ( -1 9 ) )
- B( 2 )
- C( 3 )
- D( ⁻¹ ( 2 5 ) )
Correct answer
A. ( ⁻¹ ( -1 9 ) )
Step-by-step solution
Given, points (A(2,3,5), B( , 3,3) ) and (C(7,5, ) ) ( ) Mid-point of (B C ) is (D ( +7 2 , 4, 3+ 2 ) ) ( ) Direction ratios of line joining points (A(2,3,5) ) and (D ( +7 2 , 4, 3+ 2 ) ) is ( ( +3 2 , 1, -7 2 ) ). ( ) The line segment (A D ) is equally inclined with the co-ordinate axes, so ( aligned & +3 2 =1= -7 2 & =-1 and =9 & ⁻¹ ( )= ⁻¹ (- 1 9 ) aligned ) Hence, option (1) is correct.
