If \(2 x^2-5 x y+2 y^2=0\) represents two sides of a triangle whose centroid is \((1,1)\), then the equation of the third side is

  1. A \(x+y+3=0\)
  2. B \(x-y-3=0\)
  3. C \(x+y-3=0\)
  4. D \(x-y+3=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x+y-3=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation are \(2 x^2-5 x y+2 y^2=0\) \(\Rightarrow(x-2 y)(2 x-y)=0 \Rightarrow x=2 y \& y=2 x\) Let \(A(a, 2 a) \& B(2 b, b)\) and one point \((0,0)\) so \(\frac{a+2 b+0}{3}=1 \Rightarrow a+2 b=3\) ... (i) \(\& \frac{2 a+b+0}{3}=1 \Rightarrow 2 a+b=3\) ... (ii) on solving…
