Question

                 A1A2A3, …. An are points in a plane whose coordinates are (x1y1), (x2y2), (x3y3) …, (xnyn) respectively

A1Ais dissected at the point G1GA3 is divided in the ratio  1 : 2 at G2GA4 is divided in the ratio 1 : 4 at G4, and so on until all n points are exhausted. The coordinates of the final point G so obtained are

Solution

Correct option is

The coordinates of G1 are

    

Now, G2 divides G1A3 in the ratio 1: 2. Therefore, the coordinates of G2are

    

or 

Again, G3 divides G2A4 in the ratio 1: 3. Therefore, the coordinates ofG2 are    

    

or 

Proceeding in this manner, we can show that the coordinates of the final point G so obtained will be
