If \(G(\bar{g}), H(\bar{h})\) and \(P(\bar{p})\) are respectively centroid, orthocenter and circumcentre of a triangle and \(x \bar{p}+y \bar{h}+z \bar{g}=\overline{0}\), then \(x, y, z\) are respectively.

  1. A \(1,1,-2\)
  2. B \(1,3,-4\)
  3. C \(2,1,-3\)
  4. D \(2,3,-5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2,1,-3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that centroid divides a line joining orthocenter to circumcentre in the ratio \(2: 1\).
\(\therefore \overline{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{\overline{\mathrm{h}}+2 \overline{\mathrm{p}}}{1+2} \Rightarrow 2 \overline{\mathrm{p}}+\overline{\mathrm{h}}=-3 \overline{\mathrm{g}}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{x}=2, \mathrm{y}=1, \mathrm{z}=-3 \text { as per data given.}\)
