उत्तर
Given: The vertices of triangle PQR are P(2a, 2, 6), Q(−4, 3b, –10), R(8, 14, 2c).
∴ Centroid of ∆PQR `((x_1 + x_2 + x_3)/3, (y_1 + y_2 + y_3 - z_1 + z_2 +z_3)/3)`
or `((2a - 4 + 8)/3, (2 + 3b + 14)/3, (6 - 10 + 2c)/3)`
or `((2a + 4)/3, (3b + 16)/3, (2c - 4)/3)`
Since, the centroid is the origin (0, 0, 0), then
∴ `(2a + 4)/3 = 0,` or a = −2
`(3b + 16)/3 = 0, b = - 16/3`
`(2c - 4)/3 = 0, c = 2`
Hence, the values of a, b and c are −2, `-16/3` and 2 respectively.
