If G ( g → ) , H ( h → ) and P ( p → ) are centroid, orthocenter and circumcenter of a triangle and x p → + y h → + z g → = 0 then x , y , z =
Options
- A( 1 , 1 , - 2 )
- B( 2 , 1 , - 3 )
- C( 1 , 3 , - 4 )
- D( 2 , 3 , - 5 )
Correct answer
B. ( 2 , 1 , - 3 )
Step-by-step solution
We know that, in a triangle centroid (G), orthocenter (H) and circumcenter (P) are always collinear and G divides the line segment PH in ratio 1:2 So using section formula, g ¯ = 2 p ¯ + h ¯ 3 ⇒ 3 g ¯ = 2 p ¯ + h ¯ ⇒ 2 p ¯ + h ¯ − 3 g ¯ = 0
