Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((0,0)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, point P(1,5) image of the point \(P(1,5)\) about the line \(y=x\) is \(Q(5,1)\) and image of the point \(Q\) on line \(y=-x\) is \(R(-1,-5)\) \(\therefore\) Required circumcentre \(=\) Mid-point of \(P\) and \(R\) \(=\left(\frac{1-1}{2}, \frac{5-5}{2}\right)=(0,0\)
