Let kk be an integer such that the triangle with vertices \left(k, - 3k\right), \left(5, k\right) and \left(- k, 2\right) has area 2828 sq. units. Then the orthocenter of this triangle is at the point:Let k be an integer such that the triangle with vertices (k, - 3k), (5, k) and (- k, 2) has area 28 sq. units. Then the

Options

  1. A(2,−12)\left(2, - \dfrac{1}{2}\right)
  2. B(1,34)\left(1, \dfrac{3}{4}\right)
  3. C(1,−34)\left(1, - \dfrac{3}{4}\right)
  4. D(2,12)\left(2, \dfrac{1}{2}\right)

Correct answer

D. (2,12)\left(2, \dfrac{1}{2}\right)

Step-by-step solution

Let k be an integer such that the triangle with vertices (k, - 3k), (5, k) and (- k, 2) has area 28 sq. units. Then the

Given, Area of the triangle ∆ABC=28∆ ABC = 28→12∣k(k−2)+5(2+3k)−k(−4k)∣=28\to \dfrac{1}{2}\left|k\left(k - 2\right) + 5\left(2 + 3k\right) - k\left(- 4k\right)\right| = 28

→∣k(k−2)+5(2+3k)−k(−4k)∣=56\to \left|k\left(k - 2\right) + 5\left(2 + 3k\right) - k\left(- 4k\right)\right| = 56

→5k2+13k−46=0\to 5{k}^{2} + 13k − 46 = 0

→k=2\to k = 2 and k=−235k = - \dfrac{23}{5} (Not possible)

Altitude from A:x=2A: x = 2

Altitude from B:y−2=12(x−5)B: y - 2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\left(x - 5\right)

So, their point of intersection is H(2,12)H\left(2, \dfrac{1}{2}\right)
