Questions  

If the circumcentre of the triangle formed by the points (0,0),(2,1)  and (1,3) is at 52,52 then the coordinates of  its orthcentre are

a
(−4,−3)
b
(4,3)
c
(−4,3)
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The coordinates of the centroid are G0+2−13,0−1+33 i.e. 13,23. Let α,β be the coordinates of orthocentre H. The coordinates of circumcentre  are O′5    52    2.Since G divides O' H the ratio 1 : 2.∴ α+53=13 and β+53=23⇒α=−4,β=−3
