Let PQR be a triangle with R(−1,4,2). Suppose M(2,1,2) is the mid point of PQ. The distance of the centroid of ∆PQR from the point of intersection of the line 0x−2=2y=−1z+3 and 1x−1=−3y+3=1z+1 is
Options

D99
Correct answer
C. 69
Step-by-step solution
Given:
0x−2=2y=−1z+3 and 1x−1=−3y+3=1z+1
⇒0x−2=2y=−1z+3=k(let)
⇒x=2,y=2k,z=−k+3...(i)
Also, 1x−1=−3y+3=1z+1=λ(let)
⇒x=λ+1,y=−3λ−3.z=λ−1...(ii)
Using \left(i\right)\text{and}\left(ii\right),</p><p>⇒ 2 = \lambda + 1, 2k = - 3\lambda - 3</p><p>⇒ \lambda = 1, 2k = - 3 - 3</p><p>⇒ \lambda = 1, k = - 3</p><p>⇒ x = 2, y = - 6, z = 0</p><p>So,theintersectionpointoftwogivenlinesis(2,−6,0).
Now, we know that centroid G divides MR (median) in the ratio 1:2.
So, by using section formula, G≡(31×−1+2×2,31×4+2×1,31×2+2×2)
So, centroid is G(1,2,2).
Let A be the point of intersection of given lines.
