उत्तर
We have to find the co-ordinates of the third vertex of the given triangle. Let the co-ordinates of the third vertex be(x,y).
The co-ordinates of other two vertices are A (3, 2) and C (−2, 1)
The co-ordinate of the centroid is`(5/3,-1/3)`
We know that the co-ordinates of the centroid of a triangle whose vertices are
`(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),(x_3,y_3)`is
`((x_1+x_2+x_3)/3,(y_1+y_2+y_3)/3)`
So, `(5/3,-1/3)=((x+3-2)/3,(y+2+1)/3)`
Compare individual terms on both the sides-
`(x+1)/3=5/3`
So,
x=4
Similarly
`(y+3)/3=-1/3`
So,
y=4
So the co-ordinates of third vertex `(4,-4)`

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
Assertion (A): Mid-point of a line segment divides the line segment in the ratio 1 : 1
Reason (R): The ratio in which the point (−3, k) divides the line segment joining the points (− 5, 4) and (− 2, 3) is 1 : 2.
