 Let C be the centroid of the triangle with vertices (3, -1) ,(1, 3) and (2, 4). Let P be the point of intersection of the lines x+3y-1=0 and 3x-y+1=0. Then the line passing through the points C and P also passes through the point:

a
7,6
b
−9,−6
c
9,7
d
−9,−7

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Given C=3+1+23,-1+3+43=(2,2) The line passing through P and C can be written as (x+3y-1)+λ(3x-y+1)=0 C lies on it ⇒7+5λ=0⇒λ=-75 So, the equation will be 5(x+3y-1)-7(3x-y+1)=0 or -2(8x-11y+6)=0(-9,-6) will lie on this line
