If \(\mathrm{A}(\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha), \mathrm{B}(\sin \alpha,-\cos \alpha), \mathrm{C}(1,2)\) are the vertices of a \(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}\) then the locus of its centroid is

  1. A \(3\left(x^2+y^2\right)-2 x-4 y+1=0\)
  2. B \(x^2+y^2-2 x-4 y+1=0\)
  3. C \(x^2+y^2-2 x-4 y+3=0\)
  4. D \(2\left(x^2+y^2\right)-2 x-4 y+5=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3\left(x^2+y^2\right)-2 x-4 y+1=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \( (x, y) \) be the coordinates of the centroid G. \( x = \frac{\cos \alpha + \sin \alpha + 1}{3} \Rightarrow 3x - 1 = \cos \alpha + \sin \alpha \) \( y = \frac{\sin \alpha - \cos \alpha + 2}{3} \Rightarrow 3y - 2 = \sin \alpha - \cos \alpha \)…
