JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - rectangular cartensian co-ordinates

Let the vertex \(A\) of a triangle \(ABC\) be \((1, 2)\), and the mid-point of the side \(AB\) be \((5, -1)\). If the centroid of this triangle is \((3, 4)\) and its circumcenter is \((\alpha, \beta)\), then \(21(\alpha + \beta)\) is equal to:

  1. A \(309\)
  2. B \(403\)
  3. C \(497\)
  4. D \(524\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(497\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the coordinates of vertex \(B\) be \((x_1, y_1)\) and vertex \(C\) be \((x_2, y_2)\). Since the mid-point of \(AB\) is \((5, -1)\), we have: \(\dfrac{1 + x_1}{2} = 5 \Rightarrow x_1 = 9\) \(\dfrac{2 + y_1}{2} = -1 \Rightarrow y_1 = -4\) Thus, \(B \equiv (9, -4)\). Given the…
