If the equation of the median through vertex \(A(3, k)\) of \(\triangle A B C\) with vertices \(\mathrm{B}(2,1)\) and \(\mathrm{C}(-4,5)\) is \(x+4 \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{p}\), then \(\mathrm{k}=\) where p and k are constants

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M = \left(\frac{2+(-4)}{2}, \frac{1+5}{2}\right) = (-1, 3)\) \(M\) lies on \(x+4y=p\): \(-1+4(3) = p \Rightarrow p = 11\)
