Question

Let the vertex A of a triangle ABC be (1, 2), and the mid-point of the side AB be $(5, - 1)$. If the centroid of this triangle is $(3,4)$ and its circumcenter is $(\alpha,\beta)$, then $21(\alpha + \beta)$ is equal to:

Options

A.309
B.403
C.497
D.524

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: Recover B, C from the midpoint and centroid; get the circumcentre from perpendicular bisectors.]

equation of PM : $4x - 3y = 23$

equation of PM : $5x - 9y = - 25$

$${P\left( \frac{94}{7},\frac{215}{21} \right) }{21(\alpha + \beta) = 497 }$$
