Question

If the circumcentre of a triangle lies at the origin and centroid is the middle point of the line joining the points (a2 + 1, a2 + 1) and (2a, –2a), then the orthocenter lies on the line.

Solution

Correct option is

(a –1)2 x – (a + 1)2 y = 0

 

We know from geometry that the circumcentre, centroid and orthocentre of a triangle lie on a line. So the orthocentre of the triangle lies on the line joining the circumcentre (0, 0) and the centroid
