Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

We have,

The equations of the sides AB, BC and CA of a triangle ABC are 2x + y = 0 , x + py = 21a (a ≠ 0) and x - y = 3

Since, G(2,a)G\left(2, a\right), so

1+α+β+33=2\dfrac{1 + \alpha + \beta + 3}{3} = 2 and −2−2α+β3=a\dfrac{- 2 - 2\alpha + \beta}{3} = a

⇒α+β=2⇒ \alpha + \beta = 2 and −2α+β=3a+2- 2\alpha + \beta = 3a + 2

So, α=−a,β=2+a\alpha = - a, \beta = 2 + a

So, B≡(−a,2a),C≡(5+a,2+a)B ≡ \left(- a, 2a\right), C ≡ \left(5 + a, 2 + a\right)

Now, BB and CC lies on the line x+py=21ax + py = 21a, so

−a+2pa=21a- a + 2pa = 21a

⇒p=11⇒ p = 11

Also,

5+a+11(2+a)=21a5 + a + 11\left(2 + a\right) = 21a

⇒27=9a⇒a=3⇒ 27 = 9a ⇒ a = 3

So,

B≡(−3,6),C≡(8,5)B ≡ \left(- 3, 6\right), C ≡ \left(8, 5\right)

So,

BC2=121+1=122B{C}^{2} = 121 + 1 = 122
