In a right angled triangle, if the position vector of the vertex having the right angle is \(-3 \mathrm{i}+5 \mathrm{j}+2 \mathrm{k}\) and the position vector of the midpoint of its hypotenuse is \(6 \mathrm{i}+2 \mathrm{j}+5 \mathrm{k}\), then the position vector of its centroid is

  1. A \(3 i+3 j+4 k\)
  2. B \(3 \mathrm{i}+3 \mathrm{j}+3 \mathrm{k}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3 \mathrm{i}+7 \mathrm{j}+7 \mathrm{k}}{2}\)
  4. D \(4 \mathrm{j}+3 \mathrm{k}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 i+3 j+4 k\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{G} = \frac{\vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C}}{3} \) \( \vec{M} = \frac{\vec{B} + \vec{C}}{2} \implies \vec{B} + \vec{C} = 2\vec{M} \) \( \vec{G} = \frac{\vec{A} + 2\vec{M}}{3} \)…
