In \(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}\), if \(\mathrm{A}=(1,2)\) and the equations of the medians through \(B\) and \(C\) are \(x+y=5\) and \(x=4\) respectively, then the area of \(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}\) is

  1. A \(12\)
  2. B \(9\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{OC} \& \mathrm{OB}\) the equations of medians respectively and point \(\mathrm{O}\) is the centroid. \(\because\) Intersection OC \& OB is centroid. Solving \(x+y=5 \& x=4\), we get the centroid as \((4,1)\). Let the coordinate of point \(C=(4, a)\) and coordinate of…
