Let \(\mathrm{A}(2,3,5), \mathrm{B}(-1,3,2), \mathrm{C}(\lambda, 5, \mu)\) be the vertices of \(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}\). If the median through the vertex A is equally inclined to the coordinate axes, then

  1. A \(5 \lambda-8 \mu=0\)
  2. B \(8 \lambda-5 \mu=0\)
  3. C \(10 \lambda-7 \mu=0\)
  4. D \(7 \lambda-10 \mu=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(10 \lambda-7 \mu=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let D be the midpoint of BC. \(D = \left(\frac{-1+\lambda}{2}, \frac{3+5}{2}, \frac{2+\mu}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{\lambda-1}{2}, 4, \frac{\mu+2}{2}\right)\) Direction ratios of median AD (A(2,3,5)): \(l = \frac{\lambda-1}{2} - 2 = \frac{\lambda-5}{2}\) \(m = 4 - 3 = 1\)…
