Let \(A(2,-3)\) and \(B(-2,1)\) be two angular points of \(\Delta A B C\). If the centroid of the triangle moves on the line \(2 x+3 y=1\), then the locus of the angular point \(C\) is given by

  1. A \(2 x+3 y=9\)
  2. B \(2 x-3 y=9\)
  3. C \(3 x+2 y=5\)
  4. D \(3 x-2 y=3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 x+3 y=9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the coordinates of \(C\) be \((\alpha, \beta)\). \(\therefore\) Coordinates of centroid \[ \begin{array}{l} =\left(\frac{2-2+\alpha}{3}, \frac{-3+1+\beta}{3}\right) \\ =\left(\frac{\alpha}{3}, \frac{\beta-2}{3}\right) \end{array} \] Since, centroid lie on \(2 x+3 y=1\)…
