Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2x^2-3xy+y^2=0 \implies (2x-y)(x-y)=0\) \(L_1: y=x\) \(L_2: y=2x\) \(L_3: x+y=1\) Slope of \(L_1\), \(m_1=1\) Slope of \(L_3\), \(m_3=-1\) \(m_1 \cdot m_3 = 1 \cdot (-1) = -1\) \(L_1 \perp L_3\) The orthocentre is the vertex formed by the intersection of \(L_1\) and \(L_3\).…
