Detailed Solution

Given that the orthocenter and the centroid of the triangle 5,2,-6and 9,6,-4

Let the circumcenter will be Sx,y,z

We know that G divides OS in the ratio 2:1 internally

Hence, 9,6,-4=2x+53,2y+23,2z-63

It implies that 

2x+53=92x+5=272x=22x=11

and 

2y+23=62y+2=182y=16y=8

Hence, the circumcenter is 11,8,-3
