 If a vertex of an equilateral triangle is the origin and the side opposite to it has the equation x + y = 1 then the orthocentre of the triangle is
 

a
13,13
b
23,23
c
23,23
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Clearly orthocentre ' H ' lies on the line x−y=0  Now distance of O(0,0) from the line x+y−1=0 is 12 . Centroid divides median in the ratio 2:1 ∴OH=23⋅12=23 (since triangle is equilateral, centroid coincides with orthocentre)∴ orthocentre ≡23,23
