Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(\frac{-1}{3}, \frac{7}{3}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Lines represented by the equation \(6 x^2+x y-y^2=0\) are \(y=3 x\) and \(y=-2 x\) The co-ordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed by above lines with \(x+3 y=10\) are \((0,0),(1,3)\) and \((-2,4)\).
\(\therefore \quad \text { Centroid }=\left(\frac{0+1-2}{3}, \frac{0+3+4}{3}\right)=\left(\frac{-1}{3}, \frac{7}{3}\right)\)
