If the points PP and QQ are respectively the circumcenter and the orthocentre of a ∆ABC∆ ABC, then PA→+PB→+PC→\overset{\to}{PA} + \overset{\to}{PB} + \overset{\to}{PC} is equal to _______If the points P and Q are respectively the circumcenter and the orthocentre of a ∆ ABC , then → PA + → PB + → PC isIf the points P and Q are respectively the circumcenter and the orthocentre of a ∆ ABC , then → PA + → PB + → PC is

Options

  1. A2QP→2\overset{\to}{QP}
  2. B2PQ→2\overset{\to}{PQ}
  3. CPQ→\overset{\to}{PQ}
  4. DQP→\overset{\to}{QP}

Correct answer

C. PQ→\overset{\to}{PQ}

Step-by-step solution

Let PP be origin.

If the points P and Q are respectively the circumcenter and the orthocentre of a ∆ ABC , then → PA + → PB + → PC is

Now from the above triangle we can write PA→=a→,PA→=b→,PC→=c→\overset{\to}{PA} = \overset{\to}{a}, \overset{\to}{PA} = \overset{\to}{b}, \overset{\to}{PC} = \overset{\to}{c}.

Also, we know that centroid GG divides orthocentre QQ and Circumcentre PP in the ratio 2:12: 1.

If the points P and Q are respectively the circumcenter and the orthocentre of a ∆ ABC , then → PA + → PB + → PC is

Now PG→=a→+b→+c→3\overset{\to}{PG} = \dfrac{\overset{\to}{a} + \overset{\to}{b} + \overset{\to}{c}}{3}

⇒PQ→=3(a→+b→+c→3)⇒ \overset{\to}{PQ} = 3\left(\dfrac{\overset{\to}{a} + \overset{\to}{b} + \overset{\to}{c}}{3}\right)

⇒PQ→=a→+b→+c→=PA→+PB→+PC→⇒ \overset{\to}{PQ} = \overset{\to}{a} + \overset{\to}{b} + \overset{\to}{c} = \overset{\to}{PA} + \overset{\to}{PB} + \overset{\to}{PC}

Therefore, the required answer is PQ→\overset{\to}{PQ}.
