LetABCbe a triangle whose circumcentre is atP. If the position vectorsA, B, CandParea,b,canda+b+c4respectively, then the position vector of the orthocentre of this triangle, is :

Question diagram: Let A B C be a triangle whose circumcentre is at P . If the

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

O is orthocentre and G is centroid and C is circumcentre. G divides OC in 2: 1 ratio.
Position vector of centriod G=a+b+c3
Position vector of circum center C=a+b+c4
Apply Section Formula,
G=2C+R3

3G=2C+R

R=3G-2C=(a+b+c)-2a+b+c4

=a+b+c2
