In a \(\triangle A B C\), if coordinates of point \(A\) is \((1,2)\) and equation of the medians through \(B\) and \(C\) are \(x+y=5\) and \(x=4\) respectively, then the coordinates of \(B\) is

  1. A \((1,4)\)
  2. B \((7,-2)\)
  3. C (4, 1)
  4. D \((-2,7)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((7,-2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the coordinates of \(A\) be \((1,2)\). Let the median through \(B\) be \(L_1: x+y=5\) and the median through \(C\) be \(L_2: x=4\). The centroid \(G\) is the intersection of the medians \(L_1\) and \(L_2\). Solving \(x+y=5\) and \(x=4\), we get \(4+y=5\), so \(y=1\). Thus,…
