\(y-x=0\) is the equation of a side of a triangle ABC. The orthocentre and circumcentre of the triangle ABC are respectively \((5,8)\) and \((2,3)\). The reflection of orthocentre with respect to any side of the triangle lies on its circumcircle. Then the radius of the circumcircle of the triangle is

  1. A 5
  2. B \(2 \sqrt{5}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{10}\)
  4. D \(2 \sqrt{10}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \sqrt{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let H be the orthocentre \((5,8)\) and the side be \(x-y=0\). Reflection of H w.r.t. \(x-y=0\) is \(H' = (8,5)\). The circumcentre is \(O = (2,3)\). Radius \(R = \text{distance}(O, H')\). \(R = \sqrt{(8-2)^2 + (5-3)^2}\) \(R = \sqrt{6^2 + 2^2}\) \(R = \sqrt{36 + 4}\)…
