The position vector of the point of intersection of the medians of a triangle, whose vertices are A (1,2,3), B (1,0,3) and C (4,1,-3) is
Options
- A6 i +3 j +3 k
- B2 i + j + k
- Ci + j + k
- Di + j + k
Correct answer
B. 2 i + j + k
Step-by-step solution
Let M be the mid point of BC and N be the mid point of AC . M = ( 5 2 , 1 2 , 0 ) We know that centroid G divides AM internally in the ratio 2: 1 aligned & G= (1)(1)+(2) ( 5 2 ) 2+1 , (1)(2)+(2) ( 1 2 ) 2+1 , (1)(3)+0 2+1 & G=(2,1,1) aligned
